maiu Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I was at a school event the other day and there was a public health stand where women could get vaccinated for rubella.No sooner had I noticed it than I turned white and felt sick, and my heart started pounding. My friends went in line to get it and tried to talk me into it because it was the most responsible thing to do, but I wouldn't even get near them, I told them I would get it in a hospital where nobody would see me cry. Is this so weird considering I have a tattoo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well.....actually I don't know what to say about that....I mean because you said you had a tattoo.... I'm not really afraid of syringes.....but about getting a tattoo I definitely would be... :thinking: So actually I'm the same just the other way round...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You cant be a hard and heavy drug abuser unless you get over your fear of needles kids. I feel like a rolemodel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You shouldn't be afraid of the needle. It's what's in it that counts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiu Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I actually don't think it's the needle, it's the whole syringe. My tattoo didn't hurt as much as I think a vaccination would. The syringe goes deeper and injects things..ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Heh, a lot of people have that fear--when you get a tattoo you don't get stuff put into your blood stream. :freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grace Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 i'm not really afraid of shots and needles. i try not to look at it when someone's vaccinating me. i still remember the last time my doctor took a blood sample. that hurts much more. haha. but there is some kinda fear. so, i guess i'll never be a drug addict, which is good. :laugh3: i'd still get a tattoo though.

Matter-Eater Lad Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 how come? :thinking: i pass out when i have a blood test. I have to take them lying down Allergy shots. I wish they'd let me give it to myself, i have to go into the office wait forever to get in, once i get the shot i have to wait 30 minutes to leave So when you got your first blood test did you pass out on the ground? or were you already lying down?

maiu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I was having a blood drive once and I felt like I was gonna pass out,to which the nurse said she was going to call Adrian Suar (big soap opera producer) to hire me. B-otch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_TheSkyCouldFall Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I was having a blood drive once and I felt like I was gonna pass out' date='to which the nurse said she was going to call Adrian Suar (big soap opera producer) to hire me. B-otch[/quote'] wow that's real supportive of her :thinking: I guess I'm alright with needles.... I avoid looking at the actual syringe and especially while the docter injects the vaccine.......but i've never had a nervous breakdown or anything dramatic..... The only time I remember feeling really unsure was while watching my sister get a check for allergies. They gave her about a dozen needles up both her arms, and so now, I don't think I'll ever get an allergy check......... Yes... I don't like needles.

alyssa Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I really don't care about needles. Haha. It's kinda uncomfortable but I don't really care... I have a really high pain tolerance or something... And I hate it when nurses are like "look away" or something when they give me a shot/IV/blood test, but I'd rather see it coming. I'd give blood but I can't since I'm 1.) underage 2.) i have tuberculosis, an auto-immune disease, and all this other stuff. bad medical history. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
