I hate it when they try to insert the needle in my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only vein that really works well is inside my elbow on the left side. It doesn't hurt as much and it always works the first time!!!!!!!! After using my hands on a hit and miss basis for 20+ infusions they finally began to use the inside of my elbow. It was a different infusion nurse who tried it. When the others tried the inside of my elbow they always got too much blood backing up into the tubes  I'm going to a different infusion center....the same drs but different nurses and lab assistants.

Congrats on # 41 Linda!
I'll take any flavor cookie you are passing around! Leggz- ask the nurse to use your cephalic vein the next time you go in. Most nurses insist on using a hand vein but I only use the cephalic vein that runs along the side of the wrist, usually have them hit it on the forearm before the wristbone. It's a big fat vein and hard to blow unless they forget to take the tourniquet off! I'm scheduled for # 34 Thursday!

Thanks RW. ... but they normally start there. For some reason I only have one good vein... which is in the elbow on the right side and they have stuck it so many times it is forming scar tissue around it. They normally blow the two in the forearm, followed by popping the top of both hands before I insist they just use the elbow.

I just arrived home from spending 15 days with the grandchildren and I need to rest. I've noticed that every time I get back to Nevada from spending time in California with my family that my m.s. seems a bit worse for a few days....I'm shaky and weak But, after I rest for a few days I'm back to normal...as normal as I ever get I try to rest while I'm in California but with 5 grandchildren and my "need" to spend quality time with each of them I must not get as much rest as I think I do.
