Needles scare me ********.

More accurately Dentist & Blood Test Needles . :cry:

I don't see a Doctor incase i'll need a Blood Test. Massive panic symptoms overwhelm me & i have a massive panic attack

Dentist Needles, OMG they are horrific. I once saw this MASSIVE METAL NEEDLE,in the dental room. Which the dentist was gonna inject into me.
I freaked & ended up being restrained by 3 dental nurses

So whenever there's a possibility of a needle , i avoid that situation for dear life.

I can certainly sympathise with you there. Im also very scared of needles and the injections at the dentist are the worst ever Thats why i havent been for about 20 years.

Cool I'm certainely interested in it

Im glad to help out Spread the word around to anybody that might want to come and ask questions. It should be very interesting. He has specialised in this phobia for many years and cured lots of people.

When is he coming ?

Well i would like to get the memberlist up a little first so as to make it worthwhile. I will be doing some advertising but also word of mouth works very well so once the list grows a little more i will finalise talks with the Doctor

Oh gods I hate needles, keep them away!

However, the one that got used on me for a vaccination (cant remember which one) wasn't that bad, the needle was tiny and it felt like being pinched. I was still nervous before it though.

I wish they was all like that I am petrified too!!!

The doctor that will be coming online soon to answer questions might be able to help us

Its a sad fact but the more people with needle phobia the better the chance of getting a specialist online to help us.

Those of you in this thread that don't appreciate being turned into human pin cushions are among friends. I completely relate to Issy about having massive panic attacks. I have fainted in doctors office lobbys while waiting for a checkup

Getting my blood pressure taken also works like a charm when it comes to sending me to immediate unplanned brunches with the sandman.

I also get antsy when filling out a job application, if I think they might make me go get a physical.

I've fainted so many times that I know that there is a feeling of intense euphoria immediately upon regaining consciousness, but that feeling is counteracted when embarassment sets in

Maybe we can all help one another overcome this and to celebrate, we can all go get a tatto!!!{OK, LETS DONT PUSH IT!}

I HAVE BEEN TERRIFED BY NEEDLES SINCE I WAS 12 I AM NOW 18 AND NEED TO HAVE VACCINATIONS FOR A TRIP I AM TAKEN I HAVE TO GO TO THE DR ON FRIDAY I ALSO HAVE TO HAVE 6 TEETH PULLED BEFORE I GO

I'm allergic to needles :? the school nurse didn't believe me so injected me anyway - had a massive reaction and nearly ended up in hospital.

Teached the nurse to listen tho
