Incredibly scares of getting blood tests. Please help.?!


Question: Incredibly scares of getting blood tests. Please help..?
I'm 20. I'm an adult. I shouldn't be scared, right.? Wrong. I am TERRIFIED of getting my blood drawn. I have a lot of stress on me right now about getting blood work done... Thyroid and period problems. I'm worried about them. And it's finally getting to me. So I want to get the tests done and over... But... I'm just so scared.

I know it sounds stupid. It's such a little needle. I've been scratched so many times by our cat, I shouldn't be afraid of a little needle.

My boyfriend said he would go with me. And I know he would do something special when we're done... To make me feel better... But how can I get over the anxiety of getting it done.? And the actual procedure!.? Does anyone know of any ways I could just calm myself down... and get through it.? A lot of people say not to watch.

I've gotten blood tests done in the past. I've even had an IV put in before. So I know I'm not going to die from it, and it's not going to hurt INSANELY bad... But... I'm still scared crapless.

Answers:
You should tell them you are afraid and that you need the most experienced person to do it and they need to do it as painlessly as possible. Then you need to _completely_ relax your arm before they stick in the needle and then force yourself to not tense up your arm before, during or after being stuck with the needle. The arm needs to stay limp and relaxed with no tension in it. That way it won't hurt. You can dribble a basketball while disemboweling your boyfriend with the other arm if you want as long as the needle arm is limp and relaxed. Health Question & Answer
