Thankyou for replying

Drinking a lot of water before going in to give blood is the best thing you can do. I have collapsing veins but I've been to some people who know how to take the blood and they do it quickly with no problem. Usually the ones that have problems are inexperienced. That's been my experience

Yes, on occasion I have issues giving blood. More so when I have been giving it a lot.

Some phlebotomists have said I have tiny veins, some have just called my veins uncooperative. I’ve also seen one completely psych herself out when she missed on one arm.

I had one tell me it was a hydration issue. And some quick internet reading backed that up as the more likely answer.
