All I can say is thank God all you're getting done is blood work! Try thinking of people that are on dialysis, have you seen what goes into their arms!?
Seriously, take a breath in, & as they put the needle in, exhale!. Don't tense up, it will make it hurt worse if you do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Listen to music, something with a good beat to keep you focused on the music, and remember a happy moment in your life (i!.e!. A first kiss, riding a bike) or imagine you are somewhere totally different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
My way of dealing with it is to pinch your skin were ur bicep is so that it can over power the pain of the needle!. It always works for me a and besides rhe skin is less sensitive there too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
