Needle! Ahhh :P

[Samantha]

Ohhhh bless Sam! I still can't move my arm very well, HIV test is like a blood test but like a vacuum bigger needle Normally it's just like a normal blood test but when they **** it up OUCH! Feel sorry for the several stabs though, I've had that before. I've even had a blood test, then got told I needed another one straight after because they missed something so had to have another one in my other arm





Haha yeh! I had to have Hepatitis A and Typhoid about a month ago because I'm going to Egypt. I was quite worried because last time I had something like that was in school and it hurt.. i went and it didn't hurt at all I was like... well that was easy. Couldn't lift my arm very high after tho



And yeh I'm scared of them but not that scared.. my hands just get a little sweaty.. I hate the thought of it in my arm.. it's just.. unnatural

Ah I've never had a blood test, I've had my blood pressure taken but I think that was it! I hope you'll heal soon, @Shoe; can bring you breakfast in bed...then feed you .

I went for a blood test for the fist time a few weeks ago to see if I was diabetic.. I actually loved it. When they finished I asked them to take more blood because I loved the feeling of it

But I bet waiting for them to find a vein is so fustrating!

that's just weird...

anyway, i was thinking about getting the implant a while ago 'cos i was getting fed up with taking my pill everyday but omg, the needle is HUGE! and you have to get it taken out and everything. ugghhh! just couldn't do it.

I had so many needles in me last year I just don't give two craps anymore.

Well my last Blood test I ended up crying my eyes out before hand and that was only last year

The worst thing that happened dealing with needles was at the dentist
I had to have a filling in my tooth and the guy put the injections in but I didn't realised he had made a mistake because I was so upset and stressed about having it I didn't notice
but yeah when I was in the chair after the injections took effect he told me to raise my hand if I felt any pain
He went to do my tooth and I felt an immense pain shoot through my mouth and I raised my hand and he totally ignored it
Turns out he had put the injections on the wrong side but still continued to put the filling in my tooth even though it was evident (me putting my hand up) that I was in pain :L
Yeah we changed dentists after that

the worst needles are the ones in your mouth cause urghhhh I had the 3 normal ones when having my tooth extracted but then I had to have 3 mores because I could still feel him removing it and even then I could still feel it... He had to stop the procedure because I was in hysterics (I was crying so much he couldn't see my mouth as I was literally sobbing :L) but yeah he continued and now I have no tooth

[lawrawrrr]

I HATE needles ever since I was in hospital when I was younger, the nurse couldn't find a vein 4 times. Was proper nasty and I've hated them ever since. I feel physically sick every time I have to have an injection, most recently when I had my operation I had local anaesthetic in my toe that hurt like absolute **** and i just cried

[chantellehugs]

I don't mind injections in my mouth for fillings.
Had a blood test a while back and I was so nervous, it only hurt a little bit but I worried myself to death before I had it. Afterwards the bit where the needle went in was all bruised and I felt a bit weak (dunno if that's normal).
All these stories about the nurses not being able to find the vein makes me feel ill

[Empired]

I'm fine with needles as long as I don't look while at them EVER (I can't even look before/after the blood/test has been taken!!!!)

I guess I got kinda put off when I went into hospital this one time when a needle fully inside my knee. I knelt on a pair of curtains and I didn't even see it go in. My mum thought I was just making a fuss and made me go on a weekend away (four walks) before we finally got home and she reluctantly agreed to take me up to hospital :S and it didn't help because when they took the drip thing in my arm that time it took the nurse four attempts to hit a vein and my arm was just purple for a week afterwards...

I use to keep telling friends that they are going to scrape the needle against a bone *shivers*. When I had to have an operation years back they couldn't find a vein so I had to be gassed in the end. I have a slight fear of needles but I fear it more before hand and when I get there I'm fine.

[Recursion]

Never have done, never will do I dare say. The worst person I saw at school feinted and ended up going off in an ambulance... I can just watch them put it in and do whatever they need to do without flinching.

I absolutely HATE needles. The latest injections I had were for a toenail op, and they injected me twice, waited about a hour, kept seeing if it was numb and then decided to give me another one. During that hour she asked repeatedly if I normally had sweaty feet, to which I replied that I normally don't, and I'm at a loss to why you trying to stick a needle into my toe may make my feet sweat.

Before that I had 9 injections in 2 sessions for teeth out but that's it. I actually refused a blood test when I went into hospital with a suspected apendacitus (is that spelt right?) to the doctors dismay.

So basically I really don't like needles
