does drinking water help people to take your blood? (for medical tests, in donating blood)

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Yes, drinking water does help make your veins and your blood better...trust me, my nurse tells me all the time to drink more water to help make the vein stand out and to help it...anywho
I know that it is hard to describe how your body is, but I think I can help you more if you can describe it to me. ^^ I have Chronic Lyme diease and see...let's just say I know a lot about body pain and medical stuff...anyway, I think that maybe if you drink lots of water, Gatorade, stuff that helps your body. It will help you feel better cause it makes you pee all the bad stuff making you sick out. And rest helps too...
So if you can try to describe how your body is feeling, send me a private question. Or in your comment, give me your e-mail address and I'll send you something.
I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you feel better soon!

Blood is made up of a liquid called plazma which contains 3 types of cells: white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells. Most of these blood cells are produced regularly in your bone marrow — a red, spongy material found within the cavities of many of your large bones.
To produce hemoglobin and red blood cells, your body needs iron, protein and vitamins from the foods you eat so the best advice I can offer is to maintain a healthy and wholesome diet so your body is able to produce blood. When it comes to domating blood it should also be noted that it DOES take the body some time to recover after domating blood (your body needs time to produce that blood which has been donated) hence you can only give blood after a certain amount of time if you have already given blood before.
As for taking blood it's general practice to extract blood from the limbs (I'm not sure why exactly but it is common practice to ONLY extract from the limbs unless it's totally not possible). I have known where doctors and nurses were unable to find a vein to extract blood in which case they choose other means such as between the toes. If extracting blood was vital they would have taken it from you in some other way (I would imagine from the trunk of the body). All I can really suggest to be honest is that you not worry but IF your condition does get worse or you are still ill (the doctor you saw should have said how long to wait it out before contacting him again) then I would suggest going back or checking yourself in at a walk in clinic/hospital. You may end up waiting in a huge queue (at least that's how it is here in the UK anyway) but they will be able to check you over to make sure everything is okay. Also I'd like to suggest you call up your doctors office/surgery because if he/she is away I would expect that someone else would have taken over for them temporarily or there would be a nurse still on call at the office who you can speak to.
