does anyone else slack on getting blood tests done?

im supposed to get blood tests every two weeks......but since i started my meds around 4 months ago..ive maybe had 3 done. i wish i could be one of those ppl that didnt blink an eye at getting a needle but im such a wuss lol, i get sweaty and nervous and just really dread going. on top of that everytime i go it takes a million pokes for them to even find a spot to get blood from (k not a million but 2 or 3). usually they have to poke both arms a couple times and one time after doing that and finally getting blood we thought we were done and she realized she hadnt taken enough lol. so anyways, how often is everyone else supposed to get your blood tests done?

I hate bloodwork too, my veins are so small sometimes it takes a few sticks
even when the use the lil butterfly needles...my veins are just hard to find,
Once the took 9 vials of blood I got dizzy after that one...Do they make you
bruised up too...

Im a slacker at getting them done - maybe every 2 months. Its more because I hate the drive there and cant find parking

If you have trouble with your veins, drink lots of fluid before you go apparently the more hydrated you are the easier it is to find a good vein.

I have to have mine done every 6 weeks-haven't had to do the every two weeks thing since diagnosis-although for six months before that it was every two weeks.
I always have to have it done in the same arm since no one has ever found the vein in my right arm. Which means that they are often inserting needles through the bruise on my arm into the vein.
