Are You afraid of needles

[wallop79]

Had to inject myself for 9 months with blood thinner so defo not bothered about injections. In fact at school I was always 1st in the queue for them. Not keen on having blood taken as had loads blood tests in last 2 yrs. But blood gasses, never again it was agony, wouldn't let them do it 2nd time.

I had a total phobia when I was young I hated needles but working in healthcare you need all the protection you can get immunisation is a total must, still hate dental injections they turn me to jelly.

Remember not liking them as a child.

Don't bother me now.

Have paid to have 'em stuck all over me, including around my eyes.

It worked.

I became very relaxed, and most weeks I'd fall asleep.

Only waking up if I rolled over, like a giant hedgehog, and my spines got bashed.

I disagree

There are several threads on this forum which show that I am not alone in disagreeing with your opinion on vaccines.

I don't agree either....but we won't go down that thorny path again.

I have to have a venesection every month so I've got used to needles. It all depends on how good the nurse/doc. is when putting the needle in!! Mind you Jaysay, I've heard a rumour that in some European hospitals, they've gone back to using leeches. Better than needles?? don't think so!!
