Blood Tests!
Hi all, had my monthly treatment yesterday and had to get my bloods tested like I do every 6 months!
I ended up not having them taken due to my blood pressure and my veins not doing what they are meant to, I also have bruises all over me too 😔
I’m a bigger lady so my veins are hard to find, any tips besides drinking lots of water to make it easier, I’ve rearranged for Monday 😭
I had bloods tests every month for 5 years due to lemtrada. I spoke to the nurse once and they said if the person taking the bloods is any good they will find the vein. I use the vein on my hand. I found the not so good ones never found the vein. Well that's my excuse ...and I don't believe the water trick , good luck
@deano I agree but my infusion nurse is normally really good, especially with dealing with me for the past 3.5 years I have a go to vein that just wouldn’t play along. Fingers crossed for Monday 😅
