Medical ID bracelet!

I already have one, since the seizures became more regular and after having a seizure, the last thing I feel like/can physically do was answering a **** load of questions about medication and stuff. So it's been helpful.

Anyway, I need to change the info on it because my meds randomly changed and I don't know what to put on it. I haven't been formally diagnosed with Epilepsy, although the doctor said it sounded very much like I have epileptic fits as opposed to pseudo-seizures.
I didn't put epilepsy on my current one, just the type of seizure (tonic-clonic)

I'm not sure what to put on it! Plus, the epilepsy thing is scary, so I kind of don't want to put it on there so I can carry on saying that I don't have epilepsy and it's probably something else.

If any of that made sense, advice would be appreciated!

I personally was advised not to put what medication I was on onto my tag as it can change frequently. It was suggested that I put on it that I take medication and to carry a card with the list on and to put a contact that can be rung to inform them of anything they need to know. Could you do something like this?

Hope this helps.

That's a good point Katy.

I think i'll put the medication, but not the dose. I think they will stick with this medication now because it's also a mood stabiliser and i've been feeling better on it. Think it's too early to tell about the seizures though.

Chelski, I looked at that website, but you have to pay for a membership type thing

My next appt is in November, but I need to at least speak to him before that because I had another seizure last night as well as the one on Sunday (although that was my fault). I need to get some information about the other medication as well, for SS because of how badly it affects MH, and about my free bus pass so I can feel like an old person....

I got mine from ICEgems or something like that. I just put my name, a line saying "see wallet card" (cos my meds were changing all the time) and two or three important numbers that should be called.

I got mine from ice gems :)
They have such pretty ones!

I just put the medication name in the end. I don't think it will change anytime soon!
