@A MyBCTeam Member I think a tattoo is considered a "stick" so we cant do that :( I thought about that also then googled it :( Thank you all for your input. I am going to look into ordering one online today!!

I have had 2, one that I bought and had a parent make a beaded bracelet but the finish started coming off. I bought a more expensive one, sterling silver. I need to polish it up. I was told by an EMT that my pretty one won't really do me any good. It looks too pretty for them to look at it as a Medical Alert Bracelet. I still wear it every day. I still let everyone know that they can't use that arm.

I looked online and found them from $19 all the way up to $1017. Yes, $1017. That's crazy. I saw some pretty ones for $30 to $40.

I have one and I wear it on the affected side. In case I'm ever found unconscious it has my full name, lymphedema alert, no BPs, IVs, blood draws, or needles on the left arm.

I'm not so worried about at the drs because I can say something. My concern is a medical emergency.
