Hi, does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a medical ID card? I want to get one for my purse. Also has anyone got a medic id bracelet or necklace? I may look into this too. Thank you

Hi,

I ordered one off Etsy. If you search medical brackets you will see a lot of different options. Some give you the option to list what you want to list on there. I hope this helps.

I purchased this amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07...

It isn't as chunky as it looks and would be ideal for a lady. As I mentionned on a previous post on the front I have my symptoms and PTO on the back I have my name, D.O.B. and my mobile phone PIN code so they can access my emergency contacts and further information

I've got a medic alert bracelet too - I think they are good. I had it originally because of allergic reactions, but have added the TBI since.

Not what you're looking for?
