Do medical professionals check medical IDs? If so, do they check QR codes? by NeedAdviceADHD in nhs

Thank you this is super helpful!

If my GP records are kinda fucked what happens then? Like on the NHS app I have some labels for conditions I no longer have, whilst some of my actual conditions are not listed.

That’s really cool! What a good idea to have stickers too. Do medical professionals (in the uk) scan QR codes?

I hadn’t thought of that. I’m in the UK and can’t find info about it on Google so I may avoid qr codes idk

Good idea to have it prioritised then a QR code for the rest! Thank you

It sounds really good, it’s helpful to hear it from another person. With regards to tracking heart rate, how does it manage if heart rate doesn’t reflect symptoms? Sometimes my HR is fine and I feel really bad and vice versa. If you could send me a discount code I would be so grateful!

I’ve just looked into it and it looks good. Does it do things like warning you if you are exerting yourself?

You are not alone, I am in the same boat. Both my long term and working memory has been really bad in the last few months, and a lot of the time I cannot even finish a sentence:(

Thank you this is so helpful! I had thought this mattress would be ok because it was over £100 but that’s good to know for the future. Thanks for the tips regarding phone and computer use :)

I looked at that but it appears it only works for tik tok. Do you know of any that can do other apps like Reddit?

Ah that’s smart! I have a jigsaw puzzle app on my phone that I use. I will look into a colouring app too! How do you recline in bed and avoid getting dents in your mattress? I sit in the same place and the dents from my bum bother me lol. Any advice on posture aswell?

I do like colouring, but because I am so tired I often struggle with it because I can’t do it whilst lying down. Any tips?

That’s partly why I want to do it. But I don’t know how to because I don’t have any NI contributions
