Where did my blood go???

[Guest guest]

I was sick the weekend before last with food poisioning. I had to go

the hospital where I was given 4 bags of fluid and 3 bags of

potassium. My potassium level was 3.1 which they said wasnt " that "

low. Anyway, they had a hard time drawing blood from my veins due to

dehydration, at least thats what they said. This brings me to

yesterday. I had a doc appointment where they check my Vitamin D

levels and again, the nurse could not draw any blood. One arm she got

a little but not enough. Has this happened to anyone and do you know

if in fact it is because of dehydration? Its been two weeks since the

food poisioning.

Thanks

Char,

I know when my mother in law was so sick and she was dehydrated they could only

get a few drops of blood.

Char, once my husband had a problem with a blook draw and it was

because it was a fasting test and he thought that ment water as well.

Are you drinking lots of fluids? You should be getting 6 to 8

glasses of water a day.
