Answers:
i have had the mantoux test - i needed it for work - they just inject a small amount of fluid under the skin.
it isn't a deep injection - it didn't bother me but needles never do.
ask to be sitting and then you can't fall. - i'm not sure of any other advice i can give you - theres nothing to worry about?! thats a bit cliché but it will have to do.
best of luck!
