For more information on these and other statistics, visit http://www.neurocast.com and click on 'previous sessions'.

I am not sure if you had a bracelet that many doctors would know what CMT is. I always hope they have a medical dictionary near by. jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 , Pharmacies have them. You mail them in to be engraved. Also try the Internet; jewelry stores have gold ones. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 You can get a medical ID bracelet at an Walgreens, Eckerd Drug store, just about any drug store sell ID bracelets starting at about $10. They are not specifically for CMT, but I had one made for my son and had CMT engraved on it. You can put any information on it that you want medical persons to know in case of emergency. Hope that helps. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
