Are these as good as they are advertised to be, or am I wasting my money?

Hi Stephen,

If it is Medic- Alert Bracelets that you are refering to - YES, they are very much worth it and they can save your life. You can put on that you are asthmatic and your allergies etc.

They are internationally recognised too and charity keep more info on file and doctors etc can phone a number to get that info if you are unable to give more details.

The bracelets cost from £19 or so for basic one up wards to really posh gold plated things - or there are some really funky ones with coloured bands too.

It also costs £20 a year for membership. ( Funding for low income peeps too)

the web site is medicalert.co.uk

Take care

Kate

Yes I have one too as I have a lot of very complicated illnesses and they really are a life-saver!

I have a medi bracelet, besides being asthmatic i also have epilepsy, and feel they are well worth the money..... at the end of the day what price could you put on a life?

But when it comes down to it everyones finances are different, and you need to do what is right for you.

Take Care Katz
