Hi Pat!  

 

You can search the internet for a med-alert bracelet. There are many companies that you can get them from. HERE is just one of the sites you can order from. I don't know of any pre-made bracelets specifically for Migraine, but we believe that anyone taking medications and/or having Migraines should wear medical identification in case there's a time we can't speak for ourselves. MedicAlert.org has a wide variety of styles available. They do charge a modest annual membership fee, but you can update your profile, including medications, as often as necessary.  

 

Also, if you are taking many different medications, it can also be helpful to keep a list with dosage information in your wallet or purse somewhere. You can also have that stated on your MedAlert bracelet as well.

 

Good Luck!

I have started making them.

It was recommended to have my records on a USB port drive.

I found a project that keep fallinig off.

I also used a gold medical band and named the migraine with reference to look in my purse for more information.

I have hemi and other complications, so this double duty is necessary.

I did not like the metal ones, so I use beads and the USB port drive.

As I change my meds, it is so easy to update the drive.

Take Care! Deb

That is a great question. I've never seen one for migranes, specifically, but  you can try www.lifetag.com They have a wide variety of bracelets, keychains, shoe tags, stickers and more. They do custom work and I am sure would be able to find something for you.
