Hey hey,
Quick question about getting some blood drawn for tests here:
I'm booked to get some bloodwork done tomorrow morning. This will be the first time I have left the house to get tests done in years (as I have been making some really good improvements, and can now do this!)
Anyway, I'm a bit worried about blood pressure; the last time a nurse came around to my place to get some blood, my body could only manage one vial, while I was laying on the ground Even that took ages to fill up. I needed to fill another vial, but my body just couldn't manage it.
That was ages go, and I'm soooo much better now, but I still fear the same thing may happen; my veins just don't stand up anymore. Though my heartbeat is way stronger than it was back then.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Hardly any blood comes out? Anyone know any good life hacks to counteract it?
I'm planning to drink heaps of fluids before I go to try and fill the veins up as much as possible, but any other tips would be very much appreciated.
How was I even alive with so little blood, anyway???
