Default JC-virus test

I posted another post earlier about my neuro and dh on my case about getting the jc-virus test, well, I DID IT!! Now everyone can get the heck off my back about it!! Positive or negative results, no matter to me because Im never doing tysabri. DH tried to talk me into trying it today if the test is negative, and I had to put my foot down again. Man, will he NEVER get the hint!! I did the test, and the phlebotomist botched it. I told her my only good vein is in my right arm, so what does she do , she goes after my left arm. What an idiot! She not only couldnt get any blood, she dragged the needle out of my arm and cut my arm with the needle.Took me an hour to get the bleeding to stop. She went to my right arm and BAM!! Bled like a stuffed pig. I was in nursing for 20yrs, and number one thing, listen to the patient. They know their body. Oh, and I did phlebotomy also as a profession for awhile so I do know about that area as well. Ok, I think Im done. Feeling better now. Thanx for the ears
