Every 6 months I have to get blood tests to check that my medication is not causing any issues. I barely slept last night and felt exhausted with a headache this morning.
Luckily my brother was driving today and sat in the waiting room. I did ask the nurse what kind of checks they're doing and she used lots of fancy words...I recognised white bloods cells and that was about it 🤣 I have unbelievably tiny veins and they have to use the smallest needles they have. One time they had to get it from my thumb...that really hurt.
Today was a bit painful as they had to try on both arms, eventually got there.
Then I 100% deserved a reward with Marks and Spencer Pain Au Chocolate (yum!)
I can't have these tests done at a GP....I presume it's because they manage and maintain my prescription at the hospital...(complete guess)
Does anyone else always bruise when you have your bloods done?
