When you have blood taken, how many tries does it take them to either find a vein or get blood from it?

@Coralmist I hate that spot the worst, it is the most painful.

@Coralmist they wound up getting it from my hand today

@chuck7882 I've had it taken there too..ugh not fun

@NativeOregonian It is Def 😢

@Coralmist @NativeOregonian when I would get an IV in the hand in the past it would hurt like hell. But today for some reaason it didn't hurt as much. Maybe because it was my fifth needle of the day, I was becoming immune lol

@Coralmist :(

@chuck7882 It is usually the opposite, that nerves usually become more sensitive after repeated sticks.

@NativeOregonian ive never been accused of being normal haha

@chuck7882 🙃😛

I used to shoot up in the hand when I had too many goes at the elbow. Used to feel freaky if I hit a bone 😬@Coralmist

@SW-User Aww that WOULD feel it yes..shoot up?

When I used to inject cocaine (shoot up means inject)@Coralmist

@SW-User I figured you meant needles but wasn't sure with what... You don't now 😟 (I hope)

Nah that part of my life is over, and truly behind me. I’ve been clean for two years except a couple of pokes over the New Years holidays without it becoming a habit again.
I got too much to live for to go back there again. I have a few health problems today because of that habit. @Coralmist

@SW-User Sooo happy for you. It's just such a life and soul sucker/ toxic. Awesome, Awakening
🌻🌈🦄🐥🦋🤗

I got clean to save my own life and found my soul again along the way.
With some health complications that still affect me even though I’m clean.
Now that I have a lot of good going for me in life, I’m also dealing with health scares on the behalf of that toxic habit. @Coralmist

@SW-User aww I'm sorry of the Health issues 🙁the truly key thing is you stopped that life. REALLY great ...that's wonderful 🌼

Nothing life threatening, except higher risk of heart attack, mainly stomach ulcers and bowel tissue damage, more annoying if anything.@Coralmist

@SW-User Are you on a aspirin daily regimen?

No I’m not actually. @Coralmist

@SW-User I know that sometimes they put people at risk for heart attack or stroke on aspirin...maybe you can check at next Dr appt🍀

Thank you. I’ll ask the doc when I see him next. 🤗@Coralmist

@SW-User No prob 🙂
