Emergency Accessories

Emergency Accessories


My sleeping patterns are really screwed up lately, is it pain from my shoulder, medication, worrying about the AVM or just things running through my mind???

All of the above probably!

Anyway a few nights ago I got to thinking, shit, I’ve had this condition all my life and never knew it was there! What would have happened if it had burst, erupted of whatever they call it, I had collapsed and no one had known what was wrong with me? I would have been screwed!!!

Me & Mum
In a good way I'm lucky now I've had these warning signs of migraines and seizures for it to flag up enough issues for them to do tests and an MRI scan to find the AVM. Now I have people and science on my side looking out for me but what really started to go round my head was what happens if I'm on my own or no one who knows I have this condition is with me when I have a seizure or I collapse?

A few days after thinking about this, my Mum called to say she was just going to collect my prescription for me but she had a thought, she was going to try and pick up one of those “Medical/SOS Bracelets” for me. Oh my word, Mum is a mind reader and not for the first time. Seriously, Mum and I have our own private ESP line sometimes but more about that another time lol.

Anyway, the local pharmacy didn't have any of the medical bracelets, so this afternoon I have trawled the internet in search of the “right bracelet”. OMG, there are so many different styles, types, textures etc but the one big common fault I found with most of them…not enough room to put the information on! Basically you put the fact you have a condition on it and the rest on a medical card that sits in your wallet or purse. What happens if you are separated from your wallet or purse?? The metal ones look like they may break on impact, some others look like they may not be waterproof and the information may be lost and some look like they will last for five minutes!!




It took some serious thinking, but I came up with a practical choice.




• HARD-WEARING & COMFORTABLE – our medical ID bracelets are designed for everyday use.

• SECURE – ID card is kept securely and discreetly inside the medical alert bracelets.
• NEW IMPROVED ID CARDS!! – 3 Fold Design allows 3 x the amount information to be stored (when compared to our old cards)
• 100% WATERPROOF – Our medical bracelets are OK to use in the pool or ocean
• 100% LATEX FREE / Non-Metal Design (Cadmium free)
