Answers:
take a few deep breaths, and close your eyes!. then ask the doctor to give you a one second warning before you feel the poke!. and then hold your breath but don't tense up!. let the breath out when it's over!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just stay calm and try to focus on something else and before you know it will be over!. I usually get mind right abon the side of my upper buttocks and thats not that bad!. Just dont get it in your arm, i tryed that before and it was really sore for days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i hav da same prob, but i got over it wen i looked away from da needle, and realized that its not that bad, also one time i was soooo tense, that i had to get shot twice,it sucked :( so dont let dat happen to u !.!.!.just relax good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

just look away and try to ignore it!. i have a thing with needles and blood!.!.i pass out and get sick and stuff, but i have to get a shot every week!.!.after a while u just have to learn to deal with itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Dont look!. I have a fear about needles too!. Just dont worry!. Everything will be ok!.!.!. I would rather have the person not tell me when they are going to do it, rather than someone saying to count to three!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm a huge wimp w/needles!. First, let them know you are nervous!. Also ask to lay down!. Talking during the whole ordeal helps!. I also always cover my eyes!. It's embarrassing considering I'm 28 so don't feel bad!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, what I just realized was!.!.!.

Would you rather

A: Get a deadly sickness and get hospitalized and possibly die!? or
B: Get a little shot and be protected from all!?!?

You can choose!.!.

Listen to your iPod or something when they do it, or ask them not to tell you when they're giving it to you!.
