Soooo the amazing part is how much PAIN I can handle when it comes unexpectedly yet a tiny needle makes me cower in a corner and avoid doctors like the plague! I am 32 yeas old!!!! LOL I should be USED to this by now! |
oh my gosh I am the SAME way!!! Except I can't handle pain LOL.
I always cry when I know I have to get a shot. and when it comes to bloodwork...forgetaboutit!! I pass out. It's not pretty. The last time I had it done my doctor was a GENIUS and decided to do it out of my hand instead, for which I am eternally grateful haha. I've heard shots in the hand hurt more, but I didn't even feel it AND I didn't pass out! haha.
and I do not intend on getting bloodwork done again until it is completley necessary.
My brother donates blood every month which I have soooo much respect for - I could never!
