injections!

I fainted when i got mine.
Think that pretty much sais it all Hate them!

I honestly kind of enjoy them... I like piercings too.  No idea why.

Have you had your BCG (for tuberculosis) yet or is that still to come? i seem to remember that one being the worst, i think it was a bigger needle or something.

i generally prefer injections to blood tests. blood tests they usually have about 5 stabs before they find my vein.

we dont get the BCG any more. it was discontinued this year so we are the first year in my school not to get it. i heard it hurt really bad. i think it was because it was a bigger needle. im so glad i dont get it!

I'm diabetic so injections dont bother me as I inject insulin 4 times a day, plus prick my fingers for testing. I dont mind them taking my blood either but my veins hide then the blood comes out real slow so it takes ages!

I absolutely HATE having my blood pressure taken though. Its just when the cuff tightens and you think your arm is gonna pop off it freaks me out! So I get really panicky and I think my blood pressure always looks higher than it normally is because of it!

I don't mind them at all.  I kinda like watching my blood get drawn, but some of the nurses won't let me watch. 

My younger brother is petrified of them and makes people stay with him if he has to get one.  I'm surprised he hasn't broken anyone's hand yet from how hard he clenches when he sees a needle

I dont mind jabs, you have to have them so you might as well try and control yourself over them.
Howcome people are so scared of them?

It's because it's a vaccination. The reaction of immune system to vaccine probably made it swollen. I had a vaccination a year ago and it didn't hurt when they made the injection, but after several hours that place on my arm had swollen and hurt and I could hardly move that arm. At the evening my whole body had swollen a little and next day it started getting better.

#mine hasnt really swollen it just hurts like mad. it feels like its a big bruise or somethign even though i cant even find the spot where i actually got it

I don't mind them but when I get a tetanus shot it always swells up and gets very sore.  Once it got so bad I couldn't lift my arm.  Guess I am sensitive to it.

I think it means it's working - that you are still immune from previous shot.

oh is that what that means?  Wow, I did not know that!

I think so, but I'm not sure. I'm not a doctor.

I don't mind needles really.
The only time I ever feel bad is when I donate blood and I always feel a bit dizzy and ill but it saves lives you know!
