ID for those of us who are on medication like Warfarin.

I have looked at websites that have been recommended and found the prices a bit steep so have been looking around and spoke to a man who makes the rubber (silicone) wrist bands at Britannia Promotions, he unfortunately only does them in multiples of 100 but he told me about this site theidbandco.com They do everything and cheaply if required. Hope this is of use to other users. Being new to Warfarin I worry about carrying some form of medical ID and a colourful bracelet will be fine, at this price I can have more than one, yippee.

Thank you very much for this It's a very comprehensive site. I have ordered a warfarin bracelet for £5.90 including delivery. They do a huge range for all sorts of problems. The pacemaker alert bracelet was shown too. It's a great find!

I bought a band last year ( before being diagnosed with AF ) for my long road runs from roadid.com

I am now looking at ordering a replacement ID tag with "AF & Warfarin" on it.

You can also pay for a service where your details are linked to an emergency response number so you can keep everything bang up to date

I dont always carry a handbag so I would not always have my yellow card with me. My son who is a paramedic advised me to get a bracelet rather than a necklace. I found the silicone rubbed and made my wrist sweaty so I bought an expandable from jscjewellery.co.uk or 08009705225 it's quite stylish and is unisex, the wording is very simple ... Warfarin user...I've had several compliments about it. I paid £10 but I can wear it anywhere, whether I'm dressed up going out or in jeans and crocs around the house.

I have used this company a few times over the last few years and they are great ID bands. I have treat myself to a lovely colourful chain which I can change and unclip from the ID part and swop for another too but keep the part that shows all my illness's x

Oh dear, what a conflict. I was all ready to get a silicone band, but saw all the rest.........I can see this is going to take longer than I thought!

Hi everyone

For your information, if you decide to purchase an ID bracelet from The ID Band Company, and give our code: 990487 they will kindly donate 12% of the purchase price to AF Association. This will also be highlighted in the April 2014 newsletter.

Kind regards

Vicki

Have just spoken to the ID Band Co as I could not find any where on their website to claim the 12% donation for AFA. The young woman who ans the phone suggested we ring them to place our orders and she will ensure the discount is sorted. Please note that they are running a special offer of an engraved medical info keyring with every order placed. No I am not on commission but I like a good bargain.
