Blood Draw problem

[Guest guest]

Do others have problems with blood testing as I do? I've had CFS for 17 years

but only last year started having a problem. During my " annual checkup " my

doctor took 5 vials of blood. In past years there's been less blood drawn. But

it took me 5 months to recover from that. This year I refused any blood testing

but in a brief hospital stay they did 4 small blood draws about (probably about

25-30cc total) to check heart enzymes and again I crashed and after 2 months I

am still down. One problem is that my doctor won't write my needed clonazepam

for sleep prescriptions unless I get the blood testing. She says its necessary

for records.

I think that even pediatric blood draws still take the same volume of blood.
