So this is something most adults go through regularly... but...
I've never had a blood test done. Surprisingly ever. At least, not that I recall.
Now with my heart issues, they want to do blood testing. I was supposed to get it done a week ago, but I was too terrified to go in and get it done.
So my question is: For those who have a terrible fear of needles, what do you do to get a blood test done? I'd like to get drugged for it, lol, but that'll obviously screw with the results, which is no good.
I know this looks stupid, seeing as I've got plenty of tattoos, but have the absolute worst fear of needles ever. But tattoo needles and medical needles are entirely different. And tattoo needles kinda... burn... and last I remember, so do medical needles.
So what do you do to "psych" yourself up? Any advice on how I can?
To make it clear, when I was getting ready to fast for the test, I broke down in tears, absolutely terrified of a needle piercing my skin... and hurting/burning.
So any advice on how to get over that and let it happen would be immensely appreciated.
