Blood Test help
Getting a blood test done tomorrow, 3rd time I'm having it done
Basically, my veins are very deep and that makes it difficult to draw blood
(2nd test didn't technically happen as they couldn't get anything)
It won't be a fasting bloods, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any tips to help my veins stick out a bit more? Just want to make it easier for them to draw blood so I'm not being poked 4 times before something happens
Thanks!!

Have a good breakfast. Drink a bunch of water. Keep your arms toasty warm.
