Answers:
I know how you feel, I was completely terrified of needles, and I overcame my fear by giving blood!. It made me realise its hardly anything to be scared of, and you get to do something good at the same time!. Get a bunch of your friends to do it with you!. I promise you'll feel great after =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

My theory is that i'm subconsciously afraid of needles because they give you a huge shot right after you're born!. That's just my theory though, people arent entirely certain why some people are afraid of certain things when others aren't!. But it almost always has something to do with past experiences!. If you're that afraid of needles like i am, you can talk to your doctor about it and they can give you a drug like zanex (probably spelled wrong)!. It will make you pretty loopy for a while, and tired, but i was still pretty freaked out when they took my blood!. Anyway if i were you id definitely talk to my doctor they'll understand and be able to help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason I'm afraid of needles is that when I was 5 a untrained nurse gave me a shot for 5 minutes and your supposed to have like 3 of these she did them all at once and held them in for 5 minutes and blood was dripping down my arm to my wrist!.

Yours won't be so bad so be happy cause it won't hurt much!. Just think of getting a smoothie after or something like that and think of me because you'll be like go already and it's already done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was scared about needles too, but on school, when they give injections, doc's gave me the gas to make me laugh, so I didn't bother to get scared!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
