My veins have a slight tendency to roll during venipuncture. I advise the tech/nurse of the possibility. They make an adjustment to their procedure. I've had no problems with the puncture itself. Once in awhile, I won't bleed, so they have to try again in a different vein. I bruise more easily now. I think it's due to both long-term pred use and aging.
