What do you all think of wearing a medical bracelet or necklace? Sometimes I think it's going to label me or scare people away. Your thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

I have a bracelet that I got from Lauren's hope. It's classy looking, not the old school type. I got mine because I can't afford to be taken via ambulance to the ER every time I have a seizure. My neurologist said the only time I need medical attention is if I injury myself during the seizure or it last longer than four minutes.

I wear one for the paramedics.
They will be the only people who will care to look for it.
I would not be afraid of having a device that will help you in the long run

I wear mine in my wrist band of my watch. Jewelry around my neck irritates my skin Some people wear one around their ankle.
