Hey everyone!

Does anyone here do their infusions at home?
How’s the process for you — is it easy, stressful, or does someone help you?

I’m just curious how people usually handle it.

Members discussed home infusions for hemophilia, sharing decades of personal experience and practical wisdom for making the process safer and less stressful. Several members emphasized always having someone nearby, a backup plan, and tips like drinking plenty of water and using warm towels to help find veins. A recurring theme was the empowerment that comes with self-infusing, with many noting that vein finders and ports were life-changing tools for their families.

I have self infuse but my veins in arms have built up scar tissue and my hands are being used, have not been able to stick my hands yet but we're going on a cruise so I will have to do it.
Always have someone near.
