#medical bracelet
At the start of my treatment, I was given these 2 cards (that I need to carry on me at all times):
One is to say that I have been treated with Lemtrada, and gives a brief explanation of why I have had this treatment, what it is and outlines any (known) potential side effects. This card came with a Lemtrada information pack, created by Genzyme and MS One to One, that was originally given to me when deciding whether or not to go ahead with the treatment. I will need to carry this card with me for 4 years after my last treatment dose:
The red card explains that if I need a blood transfusion, I will need irradiated blood. This is something that will have to happen indefinitely, and as I always lose things, I bought a medical alert bracelet as well:
The metal part comes from Lauren’s Hope, and I have decided (for the moment) to use an old pura vida bracelet, but will decide later on whether or not to get a ‘proper’ bracelet part. They’re pretty expensive though, and this way I can change the bracelet when and as I like.
