    I have reynauds and for a long time it just skipped white. Also it’s rarely painful for me, which led to me just leaving my arms blood deficient too long

    Are you particularly hard to draw blood from? And is it sometimes slower than normal, especially when it’s cold?

      I am actually a stupidly easy stick. I am IV trained myself and for funsies and experience I’ve started large bore IVs in my own foot and ankle and also started a large bore IV one handed in my arm. I’ll have to ask my doctor about it next time I see her.
