Needles

[JARVIS518]

the only time i have problems with needles is when someone tries to do an IV or draw blood from the inside of my elbow, i have tiny veins so it usually takes 4 times to get it by then i start to dry heave , but go in on the back of my hand or or shots or anything im fine i got 4 peircings with no problems but stay away from inside of my elbows

I believe that was in saw II and that definitely made me cringe too.

You would be correct.....

I have always hated needles, but I give blood or plasma at least once a month. Its my good deed thing. I think shots are the worst.

The only recent incident was the nurse squirted my blood a little bit upon needle entry. I laughed when it happened, but about 5 minutes into giving blood i started to feel really claustraphobic. And wanted to rip the needle out. They just tilted me back so the blood went back to my head and put an ice pack on my head.

Sure they don't feel amazing but they're over so quickly that I don't really understand the irrational adult fear of them.

Soooo.....explain yourselves all you chickens!

we are all walking balloons wit a few bones to gives us shape.

The needle might pop the balloon and send us whipping around the room

Needles on my arms I can take. I can do the inside elbow thing when testing blood. However, when I had to get a tooth pulled a while back the novacaine shots hurt like fuck.

I don't mind needles at all. I donate blood often and for reason just never minded them.

I've been poked and proded (Not in the good way) so many times that they dont' bother me one bit anymore. When I got my Tattoo, one of the other artists came in to talk to the guy doing mine. The other artist said "Damn, he's a good one. Not a peep" after they talked for about 10minutes.

And when I was in the ICU and I saw 3 big needles come in I wanted to get up and dance (But I couldn't cause of all the wires and tubes they had on me). But knowing Morphine and Demoral where on the way will make you happy to see a needle.

But I always took part in activities that involved a lot of pain. When my legs weren't on fire from racing BMX the rest of my body was on fire from hitting the dirt while crashing in BMX. Plus I have little (And big) scars all over my body from work and play.

I'm with Chi. I had a really horrible experience with getting stuck with a needle when I was either 4 or 5 & I was sore for what seemed like days after where they stuck me.

Most IV's don't bother me. The only one I remember being really painful is when one was placed in the top of my hand.

It's shots I can't stand. They sting like a bitch & I almost want to cry. Not to mention it leaves that area sore for days. I think the worst is a steroid shot.

Needles don't bother me at all.

I did have a bad experience with nails once.

I was giving blood one time and was staring at my arm as the chick stuck the needle in my vein. It actually started freaking her out, and she asked me to look the other way.
