Does anyone use a medical alert bracelet or Life Alert for their aneurysm? My SMA is very complex and the Dr.’s said surgery could be devastating right now.
I wear a medic-alert bracelet at all times. It may not do much but it gives me some peace of mind. It's probably more like a rabbit's foot, but I figure it can't hurt.

I wear a simple bracelet with conditions and contact numbers. Since our rural volunteer, low funded, EMT situation does not have the QR code capabilities, my bracelet is crucial. It helped me recently when I had a syncopal event while grocery shopping, as I could not talk. The ER physician was able to accurately assist me. This is a good conversation! Thanks!
I have a whole wardrobe of medical alert bracelets in different colors and for all occasions. I have a tag that gives diagnosis, my name, ICE phone and it attaches with lobster claw clips. You can buy them on Etsy or Lauren's Hope http://www.laurenshope.com
My doctors recommended an information card. I state the surgery, date, condition and I state life flight me immediately to Mayo and I have my Mayo#. I also have my ICE numbers (3) and my registered graft number on there too. I carry with me wherever I go.

1 ReactionI have a little silicone band around my Fitbit with a QR code EMTs can scan.
You fill out your medical info with MedicAlert (highly reputable company) online.
Since it's on the watch I wear every single day, I can be assured I'm usually protected by my purchase and registration with MedicAlert.

2 ReactionsI have read elsewhere that EMTs rarely have time to scan QR codes and have a strong preference for the bracelets that have easily readable diagnoses.

2 ReactionsI have a necklace tag as well.
I never remember to wear it. A medical ID is only useful if it's there.
I figure either the EMTs will scan my watch tag or it'll help in the ER.
