- I thought I would show you all how I do my saline infusions for my POTS. I do my own saline infusions at home 3 times a week to manage my POTS symptoms. I use my PICC line to do it!

I’m a senior. I got my picc line this morning. My infusions start tomorrow. Your video has help take the fear out of what I’m going to have to do. Really easy to understand, and informal and professional at the same time. Thank you. 👍🤗
I thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us. I wish you a long happy and healthy life. With a little help from medicine of course. You are such a beautiful and thoughtful person. Thanks for making me smile again
Your hair looks really good
For the heparin and saline flushes you can halfway twist the cap off and still push to get the air pocket out. This will eliminate the step to put the cap back on and also reduce risk bc you won’t be potentially exposing the cap to germs by placing it down then picking it back up to put back on. Thank you for the videos! I’m still learning with my picc as well, you’re doing great!!!!
I do this now too! I prime the flushes before even taking them out of the bag!
Omg I love this video soo much!!! Thank u for sharing
Your hair is cute.
I have pots too but don't need infusions but have a loop recorder in. C if I need pacemaker or not. Lmao your cat reminds me of my bunny jumping up to help me dress picc ha ha they like to help!!! U have a lot to deal with being in a wheelchair too and doing so much good for bunnies. Admirable! My picc for kidney cancer and immunoglobulin infusions but I'm mobile. You do so well. For the love of bunnies there's Hayley :) x
You are amazing! ❤️
This has been really helpful, going to a picc line today and then in 2 months switching to a Hickman
I appreciate this video, helped calm my nerves
I got my PICC yesterday! I have my home nurse coming tomorrow morning and I'm very anxious. Not sure if I'll have a pump or not. But I'm pregnant and this is needed for hyperemesis gravidarum. I ordered the Mighty Well cover and shower sleeve too! Thanks for your content.
You're wonderful! 💜
What does PIcC stand for ? Also I love ur channel it’s great ur sharing this

Hi Haley! I was wondering if you had tried hanna somatics for dealing with chronic muscular issues? They are highly effective.
Did you use PICC Line every day? Anyway love your vids :)
so im gonna start home infusions and don't know if ill get a pump or a gravity drip...if I were to get a gravity drip, are you able to go out with it? because with a pump you can put it in a bag and go off somewhere but can you do that with a gravity drip as well? im just curious because my infusions might last longer than 2 hours and if I suddenly need to go somewhere I don't know if you can with a drip like u can with a portable pump.
When are you making the subscribers cages vid on 101 rabbits
Not sure if you mentioned this before but where did you get your PICC line sleeve? My supply shipments gave me white mesh ones but they get cought on everything and look very medical if that makes sense
Chelsea Holbrook Check out the link in my description of the video called mighty well picc line cover! I also have a coupon code for 10% off listed there too! It’s amazing! 100% better then the ones they send you! I can’t stand the mesh ones! It’s super comfortable and not itchy!
Thank you I'm getting one soon and wanted to get a cover like that because I have small babies and want it covered
I was diagnosed with ADHD recently. Any tips on ADHD and school, or just ADHD and life in general?
I’ve been diagnosed for 5 years officially but 10 unofficially. I take vyvanse and honestly with ADHD, you need to find what works for you. I’m in college now, I get offered note taking services and extra time. I study with my iPad, taking physical notes doesn’t ever help because I forget the notes are there. Find what works for you, with meds (if you choose to go that route)’ and with school preferences. Good-luck. It gets better!
I also suggest checking out the channel How to ADHD - she's been doing videos for about 5 years on tips, tricks, and such for lots of different aspects of life (school, home, work, etc.).
Ava... Meditation (my preference is transcendental meditation). Try 15 minutes AM and PM. Don't have any goals or pressure, just keep brushing the thoughts that come in aside. Deepak Chopra says, "when thoughts come in and they will, just remind yourself, 'back to the gap' the gap between the thoughts."
Does testing your blood return hurt at all? I may be getting a PICC like for my infusions and I'm a little scared about the whole process...
Night Wolf Nope! You can’t feel it at all! You can taste/smell the saline flushes and heparin though when you flush your line but it doesn’t hurt! The only pain is the procedure itself. If your nervous, please ask your doctor ahead of time for a sedative or anti anxiety pill like vallum for the procedure. That’s something I regret not doing.
@@HaleysLifeThroughALens thank you SO much for your response!! I officially start my infusions tommorow and my PICC placement will probably be scheduled in the coming weeks. I will definitely ask my doctor to see if I can get the anxiety meds! I'm terrified, but part of me is also happy beacuse I've heard so many success stories of feeling better. I'm currently 18, diagnosed at 17 and I've been having symptoms since I was 9. Excited to FINALLY have somewhat of a solution!!
Night Wolf If you have any further questions about the procedure itself or being on fluids you can DM me on Instagram! I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have!
@@HaleysLifeThroughALens I definitely will, thank you so much!
How did it go?
