Hi All,

I was reading something in another thread about people with bad veins, I am one of them.....Last month I just got through with 6 months of once a month steriod infusions, I also have to give blood about twice a month because of a blood clot I developed. Well, they have trouble getting my blood every time, sometimes can't get it at all because of my bad veins...I had ONE vein, "old faithful" I called it in the inside my right forearm but that one got hard on me after the last steriod infusion and now I just about have NOTHING left, but what if I need another infusion or what if I need to go on Tysabri, (am on Rebif now)....I can't even give any more blood even though I NEED to do that in order to regulate my Coumidin and also to see if my liver enzymes are doing ok...It is just starting to worry me now...what if I need an emergency IV and they can't do it!

I know something about a port-a-cath but that didn't sound like fun, what about this PIC line?

This sounds like it might be better for me, can any one give me any info on this?

Your help, like always, would be apprecited.

thanks ahead of time.

Joe
