I'm not sure if this is okay on the boards or not, but I'm looking to sell a MedicAlert watch that I bought a couple years ago. It has the engraving "BIPOLAR DISORDER" on the back and I basically got it to alert anyone that I'm taking a bunch of medications, and give the emergency contact information like my husband and psych nurse's phone numbers.
If you would like a watch like this, send me a private message and we can handle everything. It's a ladies' Citizen watch - check out medicalert.org for more information. If you want the MedicAlert service, you'll have to become a member. They can transfer the watch from my information to yours.

That's not a bad idea at all.

I had been considering getting a bracelet. Can I ask why you are selling the watch?

Sorry, I mean how should the information be written? In my case would I put "schizoaffecive, alergies..." I can't put my meds, because they might change, but it would be a good idea for someone to know I'm on meds, since there are so many interactions. I just wonder what I would put.

Oh, ok. The back of the watch is fairly small, so you can't put too much on there. You could simply put "taking medications" or "allergies". Then you have your information stored with MedicAlert - your medications, your emergency contact information, allergies, everything. If someone finds you in an emergency, all they have to do is call MedicAlert and get your information. You can update it whenever you want.

Ah, thank you. I understand how it works now.
