Default First time this has happened to me...

Well after getting IVIG for over 5 years with pretty much one stick my old faithful vein began to scar a few months ago so I can no longer use it. Now that I have to use other veins, At the most it has taken 3 times to get the needle in but today for some odd reason every vein my home nurse went to today blew! After trying many, many times she gave up and decided to try it again tomorrow.

I've had this nurse for over 4 years and she is usually a one stick wonder but for some reason today my veins just didn't cooperate with her.

Never had that happen before. My body is telling me that it's time for my IVIG but luckily I can hold off another day.

All I can say is My veins better cooperate tomorrow. I can't take many more sticks. I feel like a human pin cushion right now!
