Misc Draw blood

[udinesio]

I want to do autohemotherapy for my severe and resistant acne. I'm having trouble to perform venipuncture. I'm able to hit the vein, draw some blood(like 1 or 2ML), but the needle soon comes out of my skin without any apparent reason. Even if I don't move the needle/my arm. Does anyone have an advice for me?

BTW, I'm using EMLA to decrease the pain related to venipuncture. Could this be affecting the results?

I really don't think this is the right place for this. It can take only a mm movement to come out of a vein so the only advice I can give is use a large major vein and try to keep you hands as steady as possible.

A guy over at tnation used to do this to reduce his high rbc caused by steroids. Find the thread and try asking him.

OP wants to inject his own blood in his muscle, not just draw it.

I wish I had experience here but I don't.

Do you have a doctor you can contact?

Freshly drawn blood should be safe to inject back immediately. Lots of steroid users try to inject, aspirate blood, move the needle and inject everything back.

However he'd have to be quick about it or it would start to clot.
