Question:
How do I get rid of my fear of injections?
Answers:
Ask the nurse to spray your arm with Lidocaine spray and this will numb the skin. Then close your eyes and you will never know when the blood draw takes place as long as your eyes remain closed. Also, ask if they can use a butterfly needle as these are smaller diameter than regular needles and make a much small prick when they go in. After a few times with the Lidocaine then you can skip the numbing.
