I started typing one out, and when I got to the description, I was kinda at a loss for words 
- have a pain -free day!! |
When in a loss, tell them carpal tunnel in a major flare of the upper body..
Some here may ahve short sweet to the mental capacityy of ER doc's handy for you to use Dabbo.....
There are two options I had. For me I have a health record book about the size of a check bood or small address book. Medications allergies, surgeries, treatments that help that didn;t, all doctors names and hospitals. Folded in it I have a small snopsis docs used for diags, fybro, myofacial, brachail plexapathy, left side cervial herniations,lumbar, etc, etc.
For my daughter hers was a bit thicker, like a journal and updated changes in medication, photo copies of MRI and EMG results,
My Mom had a medicac alert braclet it was nice looking. Now she also had a nice typed up history from `2 years old whole life, to current, that was kept onsite at this braclet palce. So when she got the pace maker, or she had atoo high ammonia an dwent into commas, no one mistook it for her diabetes.
But the meds and allergies when you are injured or hurting, you can't think...Last trip to phisio, I had spasms so bad I just could not think, this flared from the moment the PA left until nurse came in to prepare for trigger points,,,I could not remember anything I hurt too bad.
Even a folded paper, of recent is good, keep detailed in a wallet, BOXES< FILES< STORE ROOMS at home not car, lol.
