I
live my life in a constant state of illness. There are multiple things going
on, some worse than others, but non the less lots going on. While I live with multiple
chronic illnesses I try not to live in fear. I am however prepared if something
may go wrong. Do you have a plan in place for people
to call, or a list of your meds etc? I have a bracelet were all that
information is stored with my Dr’s information, meds, diagnosis etc. It’s from MyID,
and it’s a medical alert bracelet. Being that October is Dysautonomia month, I
have Hyper-POTS and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos
Syndrome) I thought it would be the perfect time to share this amazing product
with you guys.
Most
people think of a medical ID bracelet and they may think of the engraved ones
from back in the day. Now you can get silicone ones that don’t even look like
medical alert, or ones that look like beads. So many options now, it’s so much
fun. On the inside of the bracelet is where the information is. That’s where
you can scan, call or go to the site and get to everything. Let’s talk about a
couple options and accessories first and then how easy it is to link the bracelets
and access them when needed.
The
MyID sport is made from medical grade silicone and is super lightweight. I don’t
take mine off even in the shower. They have sizes that range from child to XL
so almost everyone can wear this. I also love that there are a ton of color
options. I personally chose the black and blue.
Cost
is $24.95. That’s a one-time fee, not monthly, no subscription. In my opinion
this is a great price. Plus, android and iOS (along with all their other
products).
MyID
has a lot of options already created for example if you have Asthma, a Peanut
Allergy, have either type 1 or 2 diabetes. They recently added No blind NG tube
and No NSAIDS for the WLS (weight loss patients) both I need both of those
ones. There are so many more you can choose from. Another great one you can do
too if you can’t find what you are looking for is make your own. You can do two
lines. Both can have up to 9 characters. You can do either a silver or black
finish. The slider is $4.95 alone, and then if you do the custom it’s an
additional $6. Again, these prices are amazing in my opinion. I have looked at
other companies and really haven’t seen better prices out there for such great
quality.
I
have POTS, so I had a slider made that says Dysauton-omia/POTS so that first responders
know that I have Dysautonomia with the subcategory of POTS. In addition to that
one, I also have the Star of Life. I’m also getting a permanent spinal cord stimulator,
so I’ll be ordering another slider to add to my bracelet.
I have the Star of Life on my Apple watch
Just in case for some reason I’m not wearing my MyID bracelet, then a first responder
knows that I have a condition that would require attention and they would have
to ask questions. It doesn’t have a barcode or anything on the back or inside
of it, bit it doesn’t alert someone that there is a need. It does cost $9.95,
and comes with other options besides the Star of Life incase you want to check
that out. It’s a great option if you have just one medical need and don’t have
to have all the other things that come with the medical bracelet.
This is honestly my favorite new series
from MyID. I wear this when I have an outing that is a little higher end or I
don’t want it to look like a medical alert bracelet. It honestly looks to me
more like essential oil lava rocks to me. The cube in the middle is where you
have your QR scan and phone number with pin to call for the information. They
are more expensive ranging from $75-$95 depending on which one you get. Mine is
the Lapis Lazuli which comes from Afghanistan and is $95.
There are other products the MyID has
these are just a few. I recommend taking a look at them all.
Setting
up your Account
Creating
your account takes only a few minutes. After that may take time depending how
many illnesses you have and medications.
The
first step once the account is set up is linking your bracelet. It’s super easy,
you just give it a name (you choose whatever you want to name it), put in the
ID number and then the pin number. Then start plugging in your personal information.
That’s what takes the most time. It really depends on how many illnesses you
have, and medications.
I
highly recommend checking out MyID as having a medical bracelet can be lifesaving.
You really never know when you will need it. I hope you will never have to, but
if you do, it’s there for you. With so many options, and having them so
affordable, it’s hard not to. If you have one of MyID’s please let me know which
one and what you think.

I love this! So, it's more like what the Apple Watch does, right?
ReplyDeleteit can, but not everyone can afford an apple watch. if my watch dies it's very needed. the 5 only has a battery life of less than 24 hours.
DeleteThese are so important for anyone with any kind of condition to have. I can't believe how far medical bracelets have come. They used to just be little metal bracelets.
ReplyDeletethis is the first time i hear about POTS. im sorry. but i love these products. :) id probably have one if needed. :)

ReplyDeleteI really like the style of this medical ID bracelet! I have a few people in my immediate family who would liek the stylish design of this, and would need it.
ReplyDeleteMy son is a diabetic and he has one but this one is nicer.
ReplyDeleteBoth those bracelets sounds like great products to have especially if you have a condition or illness you want the first responders to know in case of emergency. I know a friend of mine who would love to have one of those.
ReplyDeleteIt is so important, I totally agree! My Nana used to wear one, just in case she was sick and couldn't tell people what she suffered from.
ReplyDeleteI love how stylish it is and is still functional!
ReplyDeleteThese all look like great options. I know someone who would be very interested in this post!
