Re: Advice for blood tests       04/29/05 09:10 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan If its the prick of the needle that is bothering you, you can ask them to use abutterfly needle. Its much smaller and goes in easier. It can take a little bit longer to actually draw the blood with them since its a smaller gauge but it hurts less and if you have "iffy" veins, like I do, it makes it easier! I've had some HORRIBLE people trying to get blood from me or start on IV on me. My viens are hard to find and its always an ordeal. If you get someone who you don't like ot trust, ASK for someone else!!! I've done that before! You can also ask them if you can lay down while they do it instead of sit in a chair, just remember to sit up slowly once they are done! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
