Injections!

[,Lexiilu]

i had this one about 2/3 years ago didn't hurt too bad.
i personally despise injections but i know they're necessary. it depends on what one it is for me as to whether it hurts or not. like the gardisil one, man that hurt like a ***** but the tdap one (the one you're getting) didn't hurt me at all. i've also had two chicken pox ones and they didn't really hurt. unfortunately i had to have three on one day (all three of the above mentioned lol) and the gardisil was killing me so bad omg. at the time i didn't know that it was the gardisil, but when i went back for my second and third ones i was like OMG SCREAMS

Well, you're getting a needle jabbed into your arm. I'm not sure why people get so afraid of them, no one's ever told me a real reason why they've gotten scared of them when I ask they're just like: Idk why I'm scared of em I just am.

I'm not bothered by them. Freaking out only makes things worse.

It's weird really, when I was younger I used to have blood taken from me a couple of times a month however although wasnt scared.of needles at the time they actually terrify me now to the point where I kept missing my third hpv jab because the second one left me a dead arm for 2 weeks:

lol i couldn't shower/get changed n had to stay off school the day after my first one...... paiiinful
i refuse to get my third one because i took an allergic reaction to the second (she put the needle in the wrong place... :/)

ehhh the polio one isn't too bad can't have been if i don't remember o.o my friend did throw up after it though lol i don't like needles not cause i'm scared i just don't think they're all that effective or useful.

They are much better than they used to be. I find the trick is to relax the arm as much as possible and breathe slowly.

I have them when I need to and no other time really. I can't give blood or anything like that because I wouldn't be able to stomach it.

I used to feel really faint after injections. Still would probably if i didn't take my mind off them while i was getting them. I still hate injections

Well, I had the injection, It wasn't too bad and it didn't hurt much. I felt a little sick after seeing the needle and people said I looked like a ghost but I guess it was okay.

Although the thread topic has helped me a lot and the injection has past I guess people can carry on discussing what they hate/like about injections and past experiences!

hate injections, I had the cervical cancer jab and it was horrible, I don't think it was the pain but the needle.
and i had to have one in my gum and I hated that too
