hate needles, scared to death of needle then results, and also have to have a blood test tomorrow.....
also, i dont know what your symptoms are but i have a list as well, and told doc and she also thinks anxiety symptoms but wants to do blood just to check not diabetes, thyroid etc......
so your not alone!!!!!
i have had blood tests that have hardly hurt at all!! so heres to hoping..also im told needle will only be in for 1 min....
ive got a post on all this in phobias.....
good luck with yours! i think it is the only way to sort it all out, otherwise i would have certainly taken any other test not involving needles....i was even asking if doc could use period as blood test, but she said blood mixed with eggs etc..(sorry to much info i know, but was worth asking about eh?)
lolol.....
my plan of action is im going to take a xanax to calm me before and use a cream on the spot they will stab so it will numb the area a little, then im just gonna prob cry and count down till the needle is out,....
im told it takes about 2 days for results......so ill cross fingers for both of us..
