I've worn the same MedicAlert bracelet for over 40 years now and got it from the MedicAlert Foundation mentioned in Kitt's post.

Over time the color has worn off (there were some red parts) but every bit of it is still readable and in good shape. I made one change in it about 30 years ago when diabetes was diagnosed but otherwise it's been the same bracelet all along. When I changed doctors or moved, I was able to change the information on the MedicAlert system's records without changing the bracelet. If there was a charge for that, it wasn't much.

If you can remember what place you got your original medical alert from, they might still have your records on file and might provide an update and replacement at a lower cost than you'd have to pay for a brand-new one.
