Medical I.D. for FND

PsychosomaticNerd profile image

So, recently, I've become worried about going out alone, as I'm having more paralytic episodes again (they had really calmed down for a while).

I recently had a pretty horrible experience at my pharmacy, which is inside my health centre. I handed in my prescription, sat down, and then dropped into paralysis. Nobody noticed that I hadn't moved for 20 minutes, even when they called my prescription and had no response. Eventually I was asked what prescription I was waiting for, and of course, I couldn't respond. Someone came out front to ask if I was ok, but again, I was unable to respond. It seemed as though they thought I was being rude, or that I was very anxious, or that I didn't speak English. It was incredibly embarrassing. Then, when I did come out of the paralysis, it was even more embarrassing, because I just go back to normal (looks more like I may have just been being rude, or making it up).

I then was really worried about that kind of thing happening again and people being totally unaware and uninformed on what to do.

So, I decided to look online to see if I would be able to get some kind of medical I.D. I found lots!

I ordered a medical card from onelifeid.com and it makes me feel way more reassured about being alone outside!
