man why don't people listen to me when they take my blood or give me IVs? "I'm a hard stick in the elbow crease, it's much easier to go in my forearm, I will start crying and panicking if it takes you more than 2 tries" medical professionals: *blow me off entirely*

This. My (redhead) skin is freakin see thru, so its easy to see, but they roll, and blow out super easy. I don't let the sharps pple near me without eye contact an verbal acknowledgement. Same w/eldest, + if she sees it she passes out, so they have to give her time to look away.

I have this problem. I tell them my veins roll and and clearly state I'm warning them so I don't get stuck multiple times, and that I expect them to adjust accordingly. It means that I only get stabbed 1-2 times most of the time now, instead of 5-6.
