Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 you’ve done the right thing and I’m sorry to disagree with your husband but I don’t believe you’re overreacting. It’s saved me once when I was unconscious and that was enough for me. Who knows, you may never ‘need’ it but, it’s always there in case you do. Perhaps if you could give your husband some facts and figures on deaths caused by asthma or even get him to talk to your doctor? Asthma isn’t to be taken lightly. Here’s a link that gives some interesting figures: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs206/en/ “Between 100 and 150 million people around the globe -- roughly the equivalent of the population of the Russian Federation -- suffer from asthma and this number is rising. World-wide, deaths from this condition have reached over 180,000 annually.” From: samters [mailto:samters ] On Behalf Of Keefer Sent: Thursday, 29 June 2006 8:52 PM samters Subject: Medic Alert Well, I just signed up for Medic Alert last night. My husband thinks I am overreacting. He said that Medic Alert was only for people with life-threatening allergies or illnesses and nothing that is wrong with me falls into that category. Maybe he is right, but it is peace of mind for me, and who knows if I were to accidentally get aspirin that it may not become life-threatening? My last reaction to aspirin that made me realize I was allergic to it was not fun… he also doesn’t seem to think my asthma is a big deal. Sure, it has never put me in the hospital but that doesn’t mean it is fun or that it isn’t a serious issue. Anyway, the most interesting thing was that Samter’s Triad was actually listed as a medical condition! You essentially search for your condition and pick it from a list, most likely so their information is standardized. I typed in Samters and it came up! I thought that was cool.
