Honestly, I was hoping to get more input ideas from others in this thread, like a brainstorming session. I'm new to a MG diagnosis & don't want to overlook what might be important.
So far, I'm thinking to include:
HTML Code:
'Intubate for Myasthenia Gravis'
'NO neuromuscular relaxants. Check wallet for contraindications'
The medical word for sitting patient up for ease of breathing.
I'll probably also mention that I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
I'm hoping for ideas or suggestions for adjusting content on the bracelet.
Much more detail will be in my wallet as suggested by AnnieB3:
HTML Code:
Name
date of birth
address
emergency contact name/numbers
health insurance coverage information.
drugs you are taking, their doses and when they are taken.
names and phone numbers of all of your doctors, including what their specialties are.
list your current conditions
list any past surgeries and hospitalizations
list any allergies or contraindicated drugs/foods.
If you've had reactions to foods or drugs, list what they were (i.e., hives).
a basic list of drugs and foods contraindicated in MG.
include a special little box that describes the basics about an MG crisis.
Include phrase: "When in doubt, call my neurologist and pulmonologist."
The largest standard medical alert ID tag I've found has space to engrave four lines of 14-character text on the front & five lines of 20-character text on the back. The alternative, a friend might make the bracelet for me where the tag is more of a small medical ID charm with the text hand-engraved (very legibly) on the body of the bracelet.
