You'll get through it I promise. It is just a terrible feeling when they shoot it in but you just have to tell yourself that it will be over fast. You feel 100% back to normal in just a minute or two. Also, I'm good with pain but not with nausea. So, I really didn't take it well but I promise it really is over in *seconds* and you feel better right away.
Oh, if they don't use dye they don't use an IV. IV's on the other hand are no big deal. Once they are in you don't really feel them. Trust me, I've had a lot of those! |
I have had both as well, and my experiences were the same. The dye/radiation one, I could feel it burn all the way thru my body, it seemed. The tech said that I would, but I didn't know what to expect.
Also, I had just had my ears re-pierced and I had to take those out and my ponytail because of the metal....no one told me that before hand!
Hope all is well!
