injection..

[Mathew]

I'm going for my booster injection a week tomorrow.. (9th Apr) and I'm almost in tears just thinking about it. It's the stupid diptheria whatever injection.. only ever had one when I was very young but all I know is that I don't like them..

any tips.. :rude: :rude:

It's fine, had mine done last week, This is the one that doesn't hurt

is it when you get the 5 things into your arm then the one into your shoulder?
why do you have to get it? they stopped doing it at our school, my brothers both have their marks left..

[Toughened]

How do you know you don't like them when you've only ever had one ;D.
It should be fine. Most needles you don't even realised they've put it in your arm until they take it out. It may ache a bit afterwards probably but that's all.

That's the BCG?

yeh so it is. isn't this one you're meant to get different doses at different ages? i'm sure it is, you must've had other ones...?

I had one when I was really young but nothing since then.

oh.. and I don't care about my arm aching when it's out - once it's done it's done, I just don't like the thought of the doctor coming to me, positioning the needle and then pushing it in..

[flatface]

You'll be fine, it's literally in and out, just forget about it

Had mines about 4 weeks ago, and believe me, it only hurts for not even half a second. That's all. When it comes out, it feel like nothing.

Believe me mate, I was panicking but it really never hurt one bit.

I myself don't like sharp point things.

Good luck.

I hate needles aswell, I haven't had an injection for ages though :S
But I will probably catch something and die so it's okay, no more jabs after that.

Had mine done ages ago. I didn't even know she was doing it, I looked and it was in. + I'm not saying that to make you feel better, lol.
