Don't think I will be volunteering, had too many IV for medical reasons I also thought if you have too many you could face vein collapse ? perhaps Pats could tell us if that is true ? if it is they are endangering themselves.

Re: Would you ...

These people have more money than sense. From what I could see, all that's in the bag is normal Saline (salt water) and vitamins.. BOTH are very very cheap. They are wasting their money. By the way... that is what we refer to as a Banana Bag.. and is what we put alcoholics on when they are in the hospital.

Yes Julie you are correct, collapsed veins are a common result of chronic use of intravenous injections.
