Drove nearly 2 hours to have my blood taken at my pre op n she couldn’t get any out of me 🙁 such a fear of blood, wanted it all over n done with now having it done next week at my gps, anyone else have any probs? Xx
I have really bad veins too the needle has to stay in my arm for about 5 mins and stil nothing comes out so they try other arm and I’m left with massive bruises 🙁 cant you get fuel money or anything that’s so far to drive! X
I had the same, I walked out of MYA looking like a drug addict, six times in one arm, three the other and not a drop came out, went to the nurse at my GP, she was so shocked at the mess of my arms and got it first time no hassles, I fecking hate needles xx
At MYA they tried to use a tricky vein apparently, which is why they failed, I have very thin veins anyways, but the nurse who is used to doing daily bloods and on a range of people got it first time and I didn’t feel the need to hit her, lol!
Just try to relax and breathe deeply, I know it’s very hard, but think of the new assests coming 🙂 xx
If its any help I have to have blood tests every 2 weeks due to medication I take & my blood test at mya was the most pain free one I’d ever had, I just looked the other way & I didn’t even know she’d done it – it was amazing! The nurse was Larissa at fenchurch street x
