I am going to start IV roids for the first time tomorrow. I had one treatment in the ER yesterday and the nurse had a really hard time finding my veins. It runs in my family my mom have really little deep veins also. You can't even find one in my hand with out really smack on it.
Well, anyway the one she tried to put in my arm blew so she had to put it in the large artey in my wrist. Hate when they have to go there it hurts like crazy and leaves a big bruise afterwards.
Back to topic. The nurse said they will probablly put a port in main vein in my neck because it will be to difficult for them to keep finding a vein to give me the treatments over the next four day.
Has anyone ever had one put in before? If so could you tell me what it was like and if the leave it there permanently or will they remove it after treatment.
