Drinkin' mah Tetanus vaccine, injectin' mah booze.

[Colonel Angus]

I have to give myself a shot every other week. Fortunately, I get to use the pen instead of the standard needle. It barely hurts unless my hand moves a little, but any pain generally comes from feeling the medicine go in as opposed to the needle itself. Icing the area helps.

However, I can't watch someone else give me a shot or take blood. I always close my eyes, because if I see them, it hurts.

Never minded shots very much. I don't mind getting blood drawn either, needles don't bother me.

I had to have some blood taken for lab tests today and my co-worker/tech (I work in a doctor's office so I just had our techs draw it) said I was weird because I watch the whole thing. I watch the needle go in, I watch the blood go out, I watch the needle go back out. It fascinates me. I'm like "There is metal in me now, and there goes my life force in little sips."

I also watch people give me injections. I have to get the flu vaccine every year and I think it's intramuscular, so that's neat to look at too.

I've never had an IV. I am told they're pretty annoying so hopefully I never have one.

Did you get tetanus? That will be sore for a few days. Don't let people hit that arm!

I used to get injections fortnightly/monthly because of a blood condition. I've had the last few months off, but I will probably have to go back on them eventually. I've gotten used to them.

I am terrified of needles. I get through it though.

Tetanus/Diptheria/Polio on my right arm. That was and is fine. Obviously if you whack it it'll probably hurt but it's not bad. I can lie down on it etc.

Typhoid and Hep A on my left arm. One of those two is a bitch. Much sorer than the other two shots. No idea which, though... it's the one that's a little higher than the other.

I also find it amusing how quickly they just whack 'em in. I mean, it was all done in something like 20-30 seconds. Doink, doink, doink.

The only place I find it weird getting injections is the back of my hand. It doesn't feel right!

Do you have to get these regularly? What kind of injections are they? This is an odd place for injections!

[Raine]

Phew I'm glad you're okay now!

I actually don't mind injections, I have a lot more problems with blood samples, just can't watch it...Still, my body thinks I don't like injections, so I half-faint every time. They always say it's because my body tensed up a little and then the blood rushes to the limbs, which makes the brain shut down or something like that. I never feel nervous but the docs always look at me like I'm a poor little nervous girl who goes to the doctor for the first time <.<' Guess I'm always subconciously nervous.

I don't want to imagine a needle in the back of my hand :x

Not reguarly! Maybe once or twice. I know when I was little. And a few years ago, I was in the hospital, for some reason they did that. I don't know why! It bruised and everything. Maybe I was really abducted by aliens and have repressed the memory?

I really don't mind shots from the doctor or vaccinations or anything like that. I guess, going into my body, I'm fine with. GIVING however, tat kinda freaks me out. When the doctor has to draw blood or when I go to donate, I can't watch. I don't like seeing my blood come from my body. I don't get light-headed or faint or anything, but it just kinda makes me cringe.

Give me a shot all day though. Except the Small Pox vaccination. That and its effects blew for 3 weeks.

[escobert]

I don't care. Although, I haven't had in in well over a decade.

[Raistlin]

I have to give myself injections of my medication every 2 weeks (it's subcutaneous, so injected into fatty tissue, not directly into a blood vein), and those hurt a lot more than anything a doctor's/nurse's needle has done. That has been for the past few years, so I've long gotten over any fear of needles.

[Miss Mae]

I had an injection yesterday. Hurt more than usual - the nurse clearly wanted to bruise me - but it's kind of strange how relaxed I am about them now. They've reduced mine down to three months though, which is rad, so no more blood tests and or needles until September.
