no as my veins think i need all the blood i got,
they disappear deep into my arm soon as a needle goes near um

maybe it cos you had arm down at side and blood flowed out
it stops if you hold arm up as flows away doesnt it

I had it after a biopsy, they told me not to look but it took a while to stop.I take aspirin on prescription and that thins the blood.

the lady stuck a plaster on it and off i went.Got to the main doors of the hospital and someone shouted over to me that there was blood everywhere.When i looked at my arm there was blood everywhere.Went back and got cleaned up and got padded out and i was asked if i was on any medication,which i am not.Has anyone had this before or who knows what causes it.It made me feel sick.
