    I see fliers all over for medical alert bracelets. I was hoping for some tips from the men and women on here that have bought them and found them to last longer than 1.5 years.

    Odd

    The choices are for the right arm OR for both but not for the left arm.

    March 17th Mayo

    Thanks for asking New Flower. They changed my appointment from a doctor doing her fellowship to a staff doctor (I am so happy about that).

    We had to push out the appointment an extra month, but my local pulmonolgist said that was ok. I see him next week. A week from this Monday, I have breathing tests and a Lung CT scan then see him a few days later.

    I can tell I have gotten a little worse, but really not that much. I am hoping this lovely high dose Prednisone and anti-biotic are doing their jobs.

    I Am Contacting NLN Regarding Left Arm Option

    I am currently in contact with NLN to fix their omission of LE bracelets for the Left Arm option omission.

     

    I called and left a voice message and sent them an email. As soon as I hear back from them that they have fixed the error I will make a post it under a new Topic here on CSN.
