I have to give myself shots once a month and my migraine rescue medication is an injectable. I've gotten used to it but my poor husband still can't quite take seeing me do it. I have to go in the other room. Heaven help us when we go through IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738219 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:59:33 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 738219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was that woman until I had to go through fertility treatments. I got used to having my blood taken very quickly! Having a spinal done was a breeze.</p> <p>I had my blood taken a few weeks ago &amp; I nearly fainted. I saw the vials (7!) and started getting hot and sweaty. I guess I'm back to being a wimp :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738217 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:59:16 +0000 Caly 738217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got over any issues I had with needles quite quickly with going through IVF. Now, I could stab myself in my sleep &amp; don't give a thought to giving my arm over to the nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738210 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:56:25 +0000 cyndistar3 738210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I am not quite that bad anymore but close to it. I can't even bear other people dealing with needles it makes me sick to my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738201 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:53:54 +0000 swedishfish 738201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had needle problems until I went through IVF. I learned quickly that I had to get over my needle phobia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738191 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:50:45 +0000 PrincessBaby 738191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No just veins......Bluuuuhhhhhh!!!

I think because I started allergy shots at a young age ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738173 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:41:02 +0000 Koolbreeze 738173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to be just like that woman. Once I got pregnant with DS1 I got over it. They don't bother me at all now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738162 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:36:44 +0000 heffalump 738162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I've gotten acupuncture and lots of ivs in the middle of an awful migraine while at the er. Both of these things make me happy about needles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738143 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:28:08 +0000 mrs. 64 738143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't used to be, but lately I've been having a rough go. I have really small veins and after being poked numerous times I passed out once last year. now I keep worrying that I will pass out again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738138 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:25:18 +0000 BSB 738138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not really. I won't look at it while it's being done but needles and having shots don't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738133 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:22:45 +0000 lilteacherbee 738133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have major meltdowns. I had a lot of surgeries and was in the hospital frequently as a child and it basically scarred me for life. However, last year I miscarried and had weekly blood draws because it took forever for my hcg levels to go down even though I had a D&amp;C. I eventually got used to it. Now I watch them stick the needle in and it doesn't even bother me. I have tiny baby veins and it always takes them 15-20 min and a couple sticks to get it right. I guess it's good that I'm over it now that I'm pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738115 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:10:36 +0000 Pepper 738115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738114 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:10:20 +0000 luckypenny 738114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little bit afraid...but mostly it makes me uncomfortable. If I wasn't in so much freaking pain I would have never gotten an epidural lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738108 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:08:43 +0000 babycanuck 738108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - I would be that woman. I hear the drawer open to get the needle out and I start to have a panic attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738105 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:07:43 +0000 Dandelion 738105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738103 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:07:18 +0000 Dapple Grey 738103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im a totall wimp when it comes to myself but for my job im constantly drawing blood and doing things with needles..i feel for the lady ahead of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-needles#post-738082 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:54:29 +0000 autumnlove 738082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to get some blood drawn today and I waited a long time because the woman ahead of me was having a meltdown. Two nurses had to hold her down and she was hyperventilating at the sight of the needle. I was panicked for her! </p>
