Hi Manit,
Where are they inserting the needle,my daughter used to transfuse through a vein that was on back of her palm first,but then it was getting difficult with time,so they changed the position to the inner side of her elbow,may be you can change the positions on the same hand and see if it works?

the sister use to transfuse through a vein that was on back of her palm first,but then it was getting difficult with time,so they changed the position to the inner side of her elbow but now either ways it does'nt work...tried on the same hand .......so was getting upset and the main reason is tht when i wrote a mail about this to my haemat even he doesnt have an answer nor any suggestion or atleast he should lemme know the cause for it i even asked if i could come for a check up but he jst said tht no chnge it to right hand .........this is not the answer u expect from a doc ...........................

Hi Pleasance
I feel its better to rest her left hand for a while and use her right hand for transfusions. Also is Manit taking any kind of vitamin E . Vit E does have anti coagulant properties and probably help with the clots if there are any. Why does Manit have to transfuse every two weeks? Vit E also helps to lengthen the life of the RBC, so if not anything else it will at least help in increasing the transfusion interval. What is Manit's weight and how much blood does she receive every two weeks?
