I think I heard somewhere, and I could be totally wrong on this, but they recommend if you are giving blood to drink lots of water the morning of a blood draw because that's supposed to help make your veins more elastic or something like that. <br><br>Good luck with the infusions.<br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-9008426511463448352005-12-01T14:56:00.000-08:002005-12-01T14:56:00.000-08:00Wow sounds like a buzy day.

She used a vein in my hand, but first she numbed it and then she used a "child's" needle to draw the blood. Since they were filling several vials I was eternally grateful to her for her kindness. I know some people just have no problem whatsoever, my hubby is like that....I hate it.

(it's one of my guilty, albeit infrequent, pleasures.) so happy to hear that you "passed" the study parameters! hope this new med will be THE ONE. as for your "shitty" veins, i totally understand where you're coming from. why is it that, no matter how many times we tell a person that our veins are bad that they think they are THE ONE who can get us on the first stick? have they not yet learned that we know our bodies better than they do? we have chronic illnesses ... not the common cold! :0)~ love ya, traceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-6487030217788019302005-12-01T17:42:00.000-08:002005-12-01T17:42:00.000-08:00Dawn,My veins are shot too.

I save the one good vein (hidden and only I know where it is. LOL) for blood tests that require a whole bunch of tubes. I will be thinking about you on the 6th.
