[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2687331, member: 88961"] If you don''t already, maybe try one or more of these top tips: Wash your hands in warm water prior to testing. Rub your hands together, a bit like you would if they were cold Drop your hand by your side and swing it back and forth a couple of times Those all should help with blood flow. If nnoe of those things work, then massage the palm of your hand, bellow the finger you have pricked, towards your finger tip. If that, or a combination of the foregoing doesn't work, resort to cussing. :) Personally, I find the most important things are that my hands aren't cold, and that I am well enough hydrated. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
