I think there was a discussion re these and Steroids for PMR/GCA but I can't find it.
Does anyone wear one or simply rely on Blue Card (UK)?

A few people on the forums have them - I don't although I do have a blue steroid card in my purse but I doubt anyone would ever look for it over here in mainland Europe! One lady on the other forum says in Spain they just laugh at the concept - and even what pass for paramedics there wouldn't look for a tag. They should find a bracelet if they found someone unconscious because they should be checking pulses - but we have 2 arms. A&E/resus would though. My daughter is a paramedic in the UK and she has her stuff on an app on her phone - and has once used the ICE number on someone's phone. She hasn't ever come across an alert bracelet though.
What I do carry in my bag is at least one day's supply of my medication in a dosette box and a printed sheet of all my medication.

I'm wondering if it would still be advisable to wear the bracelet even although I haven't had PMR for several months, although I still have residual damage to my skin, bleeding, bruising, easily etc.

She has looked at phones and used an ICE number. And would look at the iphone app - don't ask me more than that mind as not having a smartphone it is a closed book to me!
