Blood Test Advice Please

I am doing pre-screening blood tests next month to get Ocrevus. It is notoriously difficult to get any blood out of me from my veins. I super hydrate before hand and they use the smallest needle and try both arms and hands but still nothing. Anyone got any advice on how to make it easier?

Switching from Ocrevus to Kesimpta

My meds are not too aggress...

Fatigue

Ok, so how does everyone deal with their fatigue effectively? I just can't. I still work 30 hours.in care, and that still leaves things needing doing at home. So on m6 days off, I'm washing clothes, hoovering etc. I keep going until I'm worn out which has put me in a constant deficit. I try to slac...

Taking forever to get ready!

It now takes approximately 3 hours from getting out of bed to heading out of the door for our daily dog trundle. 3 hours🙀 I used to be up and out in an hour!!! So much slower now with limited mobility and impaired vision. I know it can't be helped but it's so frustrating. How about you? How long...
