I have the same problem when it comes to blood work and it's due to poor circulation. My hand & wrist always needs to be used. It sometimes takes about 3 times or so before they find a vain that are not to small & will not roll. It is best to make the area of were they want to try for blood work warm first. A hot/warm wash cloth is good to use or putting your hand or arm under warm water will help.
My hands & feet also stay cold. So does my right leg & sometimes my R. arm.

It seems like the circulation system would be an important factor in the
seizures. One day when I was have my blood checked, the lab technician had
trouble finding a vein to put the needle in. She told me the medicine I was
on shrinks your blood veins and makes them harder to find. It seems like
with them that small, the circulation would not do as well. My hands and
feet stay cold and get tingly every now and then. Take care.
