Thanks, sounds like I need to include all three. I'm thinking about maybe getting a necklace instead. Part if my job is doing inspections in low-income, often high-crime areas, so I don't like to wear visible jewelry, even my wedding ring. Do you check under clothes for necklaces? What tips you off that jewelry is medic alert? Does it need to have a red or blue cross? I'm thinking about getting something like this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/69169100/medic-alert-necklace-sterling-silver?ref=cat_gallery_2 Is the caduceus something you'd look for or is that too nondescript? Unfortunately I'm stuck with sterling silver or titanium, nickel gives me a rash and even stainless steel seems to have too much.

This past weekend I had to go to the ER for anaphylaxis. This happened once previously due to my milk allergy when I was a kid, and I went once on college for an asthma attack I couldn't get under control. I normally carry an Epipen but forgot it (which I've been repeatedly scolded for by many people!). This time I wasn't wheezing much but my bp tanked. The paramedic told me it was below 60 initially and I was like "it's always around there," and he said no, it was something like 58/36. (My normal is ~100/60.) They did spend what seemed like an excessive amount of time asking how much I'd had to drink, since I was at a wedding reception. I'm thinking I should get a medic alert bracelet in case I actually pass out and my husband isn't there to vouch I'm not falling over drunk so less time will be wasted. I'm sure it wasn't actually wasted in this case because they were doing other stuff, it was just frustrating to be asked three times how much I'd had to drink while sitting with my head between my knees trying to stay conscious. So, I was wondering what would be best to put on the ID? I was initially going to put "Anaphylaxis/Asthma/Allergy: milk", but it seems anaphylaxis is not normally suggested? Do you think it should be there? Or is milk allergy enough? Should I include no drug allergies?
