Ashley,
The lab technician told me to drink plenty of liquids before I came to have
bloodwork. She said it was easier for them to find the veins and get blood
out of you. Everytime I go to those clinics and such they are so cold, or at
least I get that way when I am there for awhile.I didn't think about the
warm water, good idea.I just tell everybody I am cold-blooded. It doesn't
take much for me to turn blue when I start getting chilled any bit. Take
care.
