About us

StickyJ Medical ID and sister company Thoughtful Impressions have been family owned and operated for more than 21 years. The company is led by CEO Lori Torman, who has an eye for great quality and classic styles. In the early days of medical id bracelets (we're talking 1960's), medical alert bracelets were pretty boring -- basically engraved metal tags with curb link chains. The same styles were offered for children, just smaller (no wonder kids didn't want to wear them). And, by the end of the 20th century things hadn't improved that much. Lori was among the first to recognize that medical id's could be fashion conscious, and in 2005 launched designs in leather as well as stainless, and introduced polyester kids medical id bracelets that had cute designs. The sport strap line of child medical id's she introduced nearly 20 years ago is still the most popular line of children's medical jewelry on the market today. And, we now produce more than 100 different styles of medical alert bracelets and necklaces for men and women. Our engraved bracelets are individually custom engraved by our team of master engravers, ship within three (M-F) business days from the date you order, and all products come with a 90 warranty against manufacturing defects. Please come and shop with us today. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

Should I wear a Medical ID for Myasthenia Gravis?

Should I wear a Medical ID for Myasthenia Gravis?

Posted by Lori Torman on 9th Jan 2026

Yes, wearing a medical ID is strongly recommended for individuals with myasthenia gravis (MG). Because MG symptoms can fluctuate and a life-threatening myasthenic crisis can occur suddenly, a medical ID serves as your voice if you become too weak to speak or breathe on your own. 

Why a Medical ID is Essential for MG

  • Emergency Recognition: Symptoms like slurred speech or drooping eyelids can sometimes be mistaken for intoxication or other conditions. An ID ensures first responders recognize it as a medical emergency.
  • Drug Contraindications: Many common medications (including certain antibiotics, beta-blockers, and muscle relaxants) can severely worsen MG symptoms or trigger a crisis. An ID alerts medical staff to avoid these.
  • Rapid Treatment: In a myasthenic crisis, respiratory muscles can fail quickly. A visible ID allows paramedics to start appropriate life-saving treatments, such as ventilation, without delay. 

What to Include on Your Medical ID

At a minimum, your ID should be engraved with:

  • Your Diagnosis: Clearly state "Myasthenia Gravis".
  • Emergency Contact: A phone number for a family member or caregiver who understands your condition.
  • Key Medications: List critical daily medications or specific drugs you must avoid.
  • Doctor’s Info: If space permits, your neurologist's name and number. 

Recommended Formats

  • Jewelry: Bracelets are most effective as first responders typically check wrists first. Necklaces are a secondary option. StickyJ Medical ID offers a wide variety of medical ids that can be custom-engraved.
  • Wallet Cards: Many patients carry a more detailed "MG Emergency Card" in their wallet to list all contraindicated drugs. You can download a printable version from the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Americal (MGFA).  Alternatively, you can choose to carry a custom-engraved aluminum Medical Wallet Card with your personal information. Direct EMS to your wallet card by engraving the words, SEE WALLET CARD on your medical bracelet or necklace.

Before purchasing a medical id, you should consult your doctor or a medical professional for advice on what to engrave on your medical identification jewelry and/or wallet card.
