I have so many life threatening conditions and cannot always remember what drugs or food I am eating which is of course no help to the medics.
If someone could suggest somewhere I could get something, bearing in mind that I am full time unemployed.
I remember seeing about a pendant or bracelet somewhere that gives details of allergies or other medical conditions. I'm not sure how much they were, or whether there was any discount for the unemployed. It may be worth asking your GP , omedical drug identificationr possibly getting in touch with a local disabilities group. They may have a little more info.

my husband was given a plastic card like a credit card at the diabetes department of our local hospital, maybe your hospital/clinic will have something similar.
or print out a list of your medications and carry it ......we do that too as his meds are very complicated.
