How To Make IV Insertion Easier?
I have no veins. I m only 31, healthy I drink lots of water, I have never done drugs. But whenever I have to have blood drawn, or an iv. It takes several attempts to get blood or iv. And I bruise easy. And iv tends to blow out and they have to give me a new one. Is this my fault? Is there something I can do to make it easier? I am beginning to become fearful of needles because of this.

dear .. don't worry , you're completely normal !
many people have difficult access to their veins , either because they're deeper or because they are afraid of being bricked ..
it's not your problem , it's the drawer work , he/she should try to make it easier not you ..
just forget about it and enjoy healthy life
good luck
