I went to get blood work and she got one tube and the blood just stopped coming out and it came out really slow for the one she got. And neither vein would work.

This never happens, what's up with this?

Mine are squirrely but a good phlebotomist can get them... as long as I stay hydrated it's not too bad.

I don't think so.. Be sure to drink lots of water before getting any blood work.

Also, make sure you are really warm. Don't go in chilled. Sometimes I wear gloves and a jacket even in mild temps to be sure. And drink a lot of water.

I always thought is was all genetics and hydration that made veins good or bad for needles??
