Hello everyone,
I started saline IVs. They are ok I guess. I have a hard time knowing if it works because I can't tolerate people in the room. But because of the low blood volume and my dark skin they can't find my veins. Last time it took her 4 tries. 25 minutes. Where normally just someone walking into my room can be enough for a big PEM crash for days. It's now almost a week ago. Haven't recovered yet. If this continues I will have to stop.
The only solution would be a central line (PICC line) but I need to go to the hospital...
Question is. Can the entering of the PICC line be done at home instead of the hospital? And how quickly can someone clean the thing cause that's also something that needs to be repeated every week.
Thanks for the help.
