Rolling viens
I use to have "great veins", the blood donation clinic use to love seeing me come through the doors. The couple of months ago, I needed to have blood work done at my doctor's office. The nurse in the lab had a very difficult time sticking my veins, they kept rolling on her. Since, she was new to the office, I just decided it could have been lack of experience. Fortunately, I am not a squeamish person, and am not afraid of needles. Then, I had to go to the ER cause of a terrible migraine. First, they found my blood pressure very low, 95 over 60, and I had been vomiting all morning. So, they decided I needed fluids, in addition to pain meds intravenously. Yet, it took two nurses, one on each are to try and get into my veins. Every time they entered my skin, the veins would disappear. What could be causing this? Is there something that I can do to help prevent this in the future?:confused: Jen
