Carrying bags for meds

Thanks Chris, I would love to get a hold of one myself!

Quite awhile ago Staples was selling fabric pencil cases with a zipper and a see thru window on the front.

I bought a whole bunch of them in RED and they fit two epi pens, Benadryl, a puffer, and all of DS medical information.

He keeps one in his dorm room, I have one in my purse and one at home. On his person he carries his epi pens and Benadryl and puffer in a holder from FAAN.

I think the red fabric is eye catching. I wrote on the back in permanent marker Emergency Medications (his name)

I got a red, nylon bag from FAAN that says "Medical Kit" in white letters on it. I wrote her name in permanent marker on it. It has a key-chain type hook and a zipper. I'm able to get a full bottle of Benadryl, two epi-pens, Medic-alert card, and other identification in it. It can fit more in it, but that's all she needs. It fits into my purse and her backpack.

I'm looking for something that will fit 2 Epi-pens, bottle of Benadryl, dropper and instructions that can be worn around the waste.

I have the red bag from FAAN that fits all of that but it's not for around the waste.

All of the Epi-mates and other fanny packs like that I've found, doesn't have enough room for everything I want to put in it.

If anyone knows of a pack that will fit all of that and can be worn around the waste...please share!

Go to a outdoors shop, one that sells stuff for hikes & climbers etc... You should beable to find a good sized fanny pack there (many colors) & will likely be waterproof too.

Then see if FAAN sells badges that can be sewn on. If not make a eye catching tag on the computer, you can have Emergancy Medication Info. On one side & personal or reaction symptoms on the other.
--Then have it laminated (office depot) hole punch one corner & use a chain to attach it to the zipper.

You can also make cheat sheets of EPI instructions & have those lamiated too, store inside the pack with epi.

I just bought a pouch from walmart in the travel section - it is primarily used to put things in to get on the plane w/out carring purse etc....it goes around the waist - I liked it because it's not as bulky as a fanny pack, but serves the same purpose.

It will fit 2+ epi's and probably a bottle of benedryl - haven't tried the bottle yet, but am almost positive it will.

OH and it's only $6.95 - it was a cloth material - perfect for him to carry at school or his teacher.

We got a fanny pack from Cabela's (outdoor sports/camping/etc. store). It's black, though, so not very eye catching. But it's compact yet roomy enough for a bottle of Benadryl, and 2 epi's. Plus front and back pockets that I put emergency info cards into.

At the grocery store I bought some 3M luggage tags made to self-laminate your business card. Then a recent mailing from Dey L.P. (manufacturer of Epis) had a wallet sized card with instruction how to use an Epi. I made my own card with emergency info and procedure, put it back to back with the card from Dey, stuck it all in the luggage tag and did the adhesive and VOILA! I have an eye catching tag with all the needed info for my son's medicine bag.
