I went to my surgery just now for routine diabetes and Vitamin D tests and they couldn't get a single drop of blood out of me. I say 'they'..two of them tried, without success. They've asked me to drink lots more fluids and go back this afternoon, when a third nurse will try. I'm going to end up looking like a pin cushion 
Does anyone else have this problem? Any tips you care to share? | |||

"Me. Drinking loads really does help. " This for me too. I was once told to start pumping my fist about half an hour before the appointment as well... but that might just be the nurse being weird. | |||

The weird thing is I take anti coagulants, so if I nick myself with the razor I bleed for ages. But stick a needle in me and nothing | |||

"Me. Drinking loads really does help. This for me too. I was once told to start pumping my fist about half an hour before the appointment as well... but that might just be the nurse being weird." Pumping your fist should help. It's what I (and others) do when donating blood. Muscles need more oxygen when they are doing work, hence an increased blood flow/pressure. | |||

Ah, great tip Posh. I was pumping both fists while they were having a good old stroke of my arms. But if I do some pre-pumping before I go later it might just work. Thanks | |||

"Yes, this sounds like me too. Have to go for regular bloods. Drink from evening before (water), not just hour or two before. Also make sure you are warm, no problem in this heat!!" Yes, she did mention warmth and I'm feeling pretty hot right now..except for my hands, which are cold. Maybe if I stick them between my thighs for 5 minutes | |||

Do you mean because your blood flows too freely? Gosh! That must be scary. "No, it means my wèedy veins collapse at the slightest provocation and so cannulas etc don't function for very long. Last GA I was put under with a cannula in my arm, woke up two hours later with a cannula in my foot and about four sites where they'd tried and failed to reinstall one! | |||

"Happened to me last time, 3 different people both arms nothing and the bruised arms knew about it the next day. Sat there talking to them and 5 minutes later, both arms started streaming on their own. I didn’t return for two weeks as left with the thought of her words ‘come back tomorrow and we’ll try again, if that fails we’ll go in on your foot with a different needle’
Luckily when I did return, I made sure I’d drank a litre of water and was constantly pumping my fists before going in. Still ended up with the bruise from wrist to above elbow
Good luck for this afternoon " ‘come back tomorrow and we’ll try again, if that fails we’ll go in on your foot with a different needle’ Omg, I'm not sure I want to go back in now!
I've been downing the water already and I'll do the fist pumps too.
