Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 " Well, now that I have given my lecture for the day, hope you all go out and contact Medic Alert!!! " , Because of you, I went ahead and ordered a bracelet. It says: " Relapsing Polychondritis. Caution with endotracheal intubation " on the back. When they call MedicAlert, they'll know that I'm on prednisone and other meds. Something to think about and I wished I had known: not too many drs know about RP, so it might have been better to say " connective tissue disease " because it's just one more resource that they have to look up (but I guess medicalert can tell them what it is?). Bt i don't want to leave it up to chance. If you order by phone, you can have a bracelent within 72 hours! Isn't that great? I feel funny without it because I had to return it. It was too big. Can't wait to get it back. ===== When choosing the lesser of two evils, I always like the one I haven't tried. -- Mae West __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was too big too.... I went and had it sized at the jewlery store... He did it for free. Kept the links..... good thing because once on the pred I gained so much weight I had to have some put back in... Just a little hint.... Keep the links if too large... !! I had to take mine off for the MRI and felt naked without it... OH... one more hint... They are made so it is almost impossible to get it on by yourself... I found out the hard way, without reading the instructions, and tried almost all day to get the darn thing on....Felt it was a real challenge. LOL Just have someone do it for you... saves a lot of time. LOL hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
