I have to go get blood work for the 5th time in a week and a half ughh

Wish me luck because the lady who’s been doing it is not gentle at all 😥

If you’re wondering why I didn’t just get it all at once it’s because they had to be done at certain times.. todays is for my autoimmune issues and I know it’s not going to be good because of how I’ve been feeling lately honestly I’m so tired of this but hopefully one day it’ll be in remission again and I won’t have to be on medication for it I was in remission for it 3 years ago and it was so nice but my pregnancy with my toddler brought it back out of remission and I’ve been struggling to get it under control since 🫩

I was a mecic for a lot of years in the military, and the same person missing after 3 always drove me nuts.

Next time youre going to have your blood drawn keep that area as warm as you can (even a warm water compress for 5 or 10 mins before. Heat helps really make your arteries and veins vusible and easier to hit. Less digging around with a needle.
