Needle Problems

If I had a dollar for every time I needed a needle jabbed somewhere into my skin. I would be living somewhere on a private island researching a cure for Arthritis.

No seriously, it really is that much.

Now I am not talking about just little tiny blood tests, I am talking about medication injections, infusions, transfusions, drips and the list goes on.

I have had so many jabs by a needle that now even for a simple blood test check up an anesthetist is required to get the needle in to get enough blood. I am also not talking about a normal needle that anyone over the age of 5 years old has, I'm talking about a tiny butterfly needle.

Here's a photo of one if you don't know.

It is quite a small needle that takes much longer than using a "adult needle" that is quite thick and much longer.

This is a sad thing to have happened to me. I'm only 22 years old and already am having vein problems. The nurses say I am a 22 year old with the veins of a 80 year old (Sarcastic Yay). The way I have been told to fix this is not to have any needles jabbed into me. 

Well this is impossible.

Another thing you may not know about me, is that I have never looked at a needle in my skin.

NEVER!

but that is a story for my next post.

Until next time,

Keep smiling as you never know who's day you'll brighten.
