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)?

    Hi

    Years ago my father needed an alert bracelet because he was allergic to Codeine but he could not find a bracelet for allergies until he called into a Jeweller's who sold nice Stainless Steel bracelets that you could write all your details inside. Sadly Dad died 16yrs ago now but my Mother gave me the bracelet when I was put on Morphine for my pain and I wear it every time I leave my house.

    I'm sure, if you can find one like mine, that your husband would not mind wearing it as it looks like an ordinary piece of jewellery and is chunky enough for men to wear.

    Good luck
