Do you hate needles.?

Oh, yes, I have vagal nerve syncope - the vagal nerve is a large nerve running from your head across your neck and down your body. Whenever a needle is stuck in me, my blood pressure bottoms out and I faint due to some reflex reaction that I can't control with my vagal nerve - it sucks!

I once had a tine test at a local health department (so that I could teach) and I came out to the desk and fainted from that little tiny needle - the kids waiting for vaccines were freaking out - "Mommy, don't make me go back there and get what that lady got!"

Recently, I attended a Silent Auction - one of the prizes was an Acupuncture Session - my husband said, "Now, there is the worst present anyone could ever give you!" LOL!! That would be sheer torture!

Can you imagine me getting a tattoo?! "Oh, want to see my tattoo - yes, it's that little dot right there on my ankle!" (That's all they could do before I fainted - just kidding - I won't even try to do that!)

Not really...

I always watch when I get stuck, whether it's a tattoo or drawing blood... when I started watching, it didn't really hurt at all anymore so they don't bother me at all...

except in movies when there is a needle about to be put in somebody's eye... or if they wanted to put one in my eye...

eeeeeee! why are all the questions tonight making me cringe and gag?

Yes! I am not afraid of them.. But every time I acknowledge a needle, I think of my favorite cousin... and how he died.

No, they really do not bother me, and that is a good thing. I've had them jabbed in my right breast at least three times in the last month for aspirations. Next, I get surgery with anesthesia through an IV in two weeks.
Although I've done plenty of drugs back in the day, I am proud of the fact that I've never done any drug requiring the use of needles. It somehow seems skanky to me, not to mention frightening. I guess for me it seems like in order to get to that level, nothing is enough any more, and the step after that is into the grave.

When I was a kid I loved needles then that day I got really sick I dehydrated and got taken to the hospital where I was given an IV. Don't ever want that to happen again plus the six tubes of blood taken from me. No way. I do have a pen that looks like a needle.

I don't mind them, I have had many piercings and I don't mind shots. I hate having to hold on to a needle though because then you become nervous and start overthinking pricking yourself which you imagine to be worse then sticking a needle in.

No, they are really handy devices. I am just not a fan of pulling them from my body.

No not hate; something much stronger than that. so it really sucked when I had to go and get my cervical cancer vaccination shots; each one hurt more than the last, and the first was much more painful than a normal shot
