When I first started experiencing epilepsy many years ago, I never imagined how much my life would change. Over time, as I’ve grown older, I’ve developed other health conditions, including being wheelchair-bound. However, two challenges that stand out for me are my severe sensitivities to gluten and lactose. I have to avoid them at all costs - they’re not just intolerances but serious health threats for me.

MedicAlert has been a lifesaver for me - literally, twice. On separate occasions, I was taken into the hospital after experiencing seizures that left me unconscious. In those critical moments, my MedicAlert bracelet spoke for me. The doctors knew exactly what I was allergic to and what my medical conditions were, all because of the information engraved on my bracelet and the details available through MedicAlert.

Thanks to MedicAlert, I no longer fear the unexpected. If something goes wrong, I know that everything important about my health is just a phone call away. It’s reassuring to know that my MedicAlert bracelet is there to protect me when I can’t speak for myself.

For anyone considering joining MedicAlert or getting a pendant or bracelet, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s such a small thing, but it can make a huge difference to your life. For me, it’s as essential as getting dressed - I feel ‘undressed’ without it.

I sincerely hope my story inspires someone to make the decision to protect themselves with MedicAlert. It’s a simple step that could save your life too.
