Sj I opted out of a picc, long or short line as my arms are just a real mess I have had 6 picc lines before and when I had Will I had a short line in. I figured that for the 4 weeks treatment that I could put up with them poking around for veins. It doesnt bother me so much anymore more frustration than anything. Only thing I dont like is the guys that want to use local first as I bruise more becasue they feel they can poke aorund harder ( well I guess they can) and unfortunatley the golden veins are in my elbows thank goodness its not a cytotoxic drug so the blow out resulted in tissue elargement and not burning. They will use the ultrasound next week to get it straight away and I will ask for the dex to be pushed instead of diluted so much.Shoul donly take 3-4 hours instead.
Long term I am hoping this will give me another 3 years remission so wont have to worry about more canulas :-) I do have the most amazing lupus like rash across my face though very stunning but starting to fade a little.
