Default Uncooperative veins

Hi guys

I am coming up to three years on Ty next month. I love the way it works for me, but it is getting harder and harder to find a vein that wants to play nice when they try to put the cannula in. It took five goes in different places last time.

It is like they shut down and disappear as soon as I get to the hospital. I make sure I get lots of fluid before I get there, and sometimes I sit on my hands/arms or run them under hot water to try and bring them up.

I would appreciate any other suggestions if you have them.

Thanks

Lyn
