I keep having to have blood tests done pretty regularly and it’s getting harder to get blood from my arms each time, is there anything I can ask for/an alternative that will make getting bloods done easier?

Some suggestions include hydrating well before the blood draw, using a warm compress on the area most likely to get a good stick (like the elbow or hand), and asking for a small needle like a butterfly or pediatric needle. It's also recommended to relax your arm/hand during the procedure and keep on the pressure bandage as long as possible to avoid bruising.
