Very proud of myself right now. :D
I had a lot of medical problems as a child and my mum and I have been fighting over my medical care for as long as I can remember. I've always been terrified that she would force me to have a blood test, so I used to throw these awful fits to keep her from making me.
Recently turned eighteen and told mum I wasn't letting her come to my GP appointment this time, because I was always more scared when she was around. GP asked if I wanted to have my immunity tested, I was terrified inside but said sure! She wrote me a script and sent me down to the lab and it was over in two minutes, and it didn't even hurt, even without the numbing stuff. I almost want to do it all over again now, because I used to panic every time I even thought about needles but now I just feel proud. :yahoo: I have lorazepam in case of panic attacks in my bag but I didn't even take it!
Found this forum while Googling, you lot all sound pretty great. Nice to have a safe place to discuss this sort of thing! I thought I was alone.
