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??

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

oh im always scared of injections and stuff... i hate hate hate needles... i dont understand why with medicine today researchers cant find a better way of getting things into our bodies or than poking us with needles :thinking:

 

 

i wish i could have a tattoo licked on by kittens :p

im too scared of needles, but i'll probably get one soon anyway... my friend and i made a pact

You cant be a hard and heavy drug abuser unless you get over your fear of needles kids.

 

I feel like a rolemodel.

You shouldn't be afraid of the needle. It's what's in it that counts ;)

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

Heh, a lot of people have that fear--when you get a tattoo you don't get stuff put into your blood stream. :freak:

I get 2 shots a week, im used to needles.

^ That is insane.

 

And I'm doing a blood drive Tuesday. Go me.

 

I can deal with needles, I just don't enjoy 'em is all.

I'm volunteering to help out with a blood drive at my school actually.

but you can't donate...as you're not 17

 

i suppose that sucks

I'm just helping setting up the blood drive. I know I'm not allowed to donate.

 

BTW: Sorry I got disconnected from AIM...ergh I hate it when it does that!

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.

I get 2 shots a week' date=' im used to needles.[/quote']

 

how come? :thinking:

 

 

i pass out when i have a blood test. I have to take them lying down

My friends little brother gets a needle everyday...that must really suck.

I used to be very afraid of blood drives, but now I can do it without crying. Yay me.

Yay Mai! :D

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?

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

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.

I get nervous but it's nothing at the end

I actually give injections now (im a nursing student for those who dont know..im not an addict lol)...when i give them its not a big deal....but I still hate receiving them

i hate getting blood taken

i used to be afraid of shots...

until igot 3 earlier this year

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. :/
