Problems with veins

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has a similar issue. I have noticed before that a few doctors have said that they have problems inserting needles into my veins. They said that they keep wiggling or they burst once the injection is inserted. Over the weekend, I ended up in the Emergency. I think it had to be celiac because I ate some gluten free food for the first time and I was throwing up so much. I swore that I won't buy anything prepackaged ever again. This was like a flashback to when I was so sick that I ended up in the hospital because of dehydration and I was finally diagnosed with celiac. Now, my hands and arms are filled with wounds because a doctor yesterday and a nurse today could not give me i.v. fluids. Both of them said the same, veins are wiggling, moving, visible but once they insert the needle they move. While we were talking yesterday, the doctor said she had a patient who has lupus and similar thing was happening to her. It goes without saying that I freaked out. Is it possible that this could be related to lupus? Those who know me on this forum from before, know that I have been worried about other AIs because I have had some symptoms that I thought i should not have since I am on a strict diet. I think it is time to start looking at things again. I am so tired of doctors and being scared. That is why I decided to take a break from looking for the answers on my own. I do not think anyone understands what I am going through at home so it makes it harder. 

If you know anything about veins and why this happens, please let me know.

Thank you!

      I've added NAC, N-Acetyl Cysteine; "crucial for replenishing glutathione—the body's master antioxidant." I used Clear Eyes 1% NAC lubricating eye drops for several years until the FDA forced them off the market.  In 2015 I had cataracts in bofh eyes.  In 2019 my left eye was clear, right eye was improved.  They are back now.  I discovered new companies with the drops at higher NAC but went with 500 mg NAC capsules.  Spread the cheer 🤓. My impression so far is the NAC is doing good.  Best with meal.

      When the pizza was dropped off she told me it had a Udi's certified gluten-free crust.  Even so, I am trying to play things as safe as possible for at least the next 6-months.  With that said, I returned the two slices to my neighbor and asked her to thank her mom for the pizza.  😊  I will likely bump into my neighbor's mom sometime next week.  She shuttles my neighbor's son, a freshman, to and from high school.  As mentioned, she is very kind so I am sure she will understand.  Heck, at least it went back to her family members and not in the trash.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.
