I know this has absolutly nothing to do with this post, but I thought you might benefit from a little tip. Before you go to get blood drawn, hydrate. If you know in advance of the "event" drink plenty of fluids and that will help your veins stand up. I myself get really nervous before tests and such and I tend to not eat or drink as usual. My friend that is a nurse told me I needed to drink plenty of fluids the day before and the day of. And for me it really helped. Try it next time and maybe you won't have so much trouble. I don't bruise nearly as bad anymore either. Good luck! Drinking more water everyday has also helped me with my migraine issues as well. Thanks to my chiro for that tip.
