health How are you with getting your blood drawn?

I'm not good with that at al, and I have another one of these sessions in February 2023 ...

I don't have that much problems with blood tests, in fact I think it's interesting to see blood come out, it's not really something that people see everyday

Still it does kind of hurt and it's annoying

[Silly Druid 6,706]

It's OK for me, I just don't look at it.

[Brony Number 42 10,054]

A couple times I didn't eat before and I passed out.

I had my blood drawn last week. I hate needles, my heart was pounding like a drum.

I hate needles, but I donate platelets. I've gotten more used to it, though.

As long as I don't watch, it's fine.

[Cash In 22,104]

I have to get my blood drawn once every few months, so I'm fine with it. I hated it as a kid though.

I'm fine with needles, but something about the suction of the syringe really messes with me. I can't explain it. In my head I keep thinking the vein will collapse or something else that probably doesn't make sense.

Depends on the amount of blood being taken lol. If it’s just a few vials it’s fine since it’s over quick. Like 10+ and I’m probably going to struggle to not throw up afterwards.

[Retro*Derpy 3,180]

Nope hate everything about it. Typically pass out and feel like crap the rest of the day. I've been avoiding it for three years now.

I had gotten used to it after so much bloodwork done due to chronic illness, but then for some reason over the past year plus I have gotten worse than ever. I began to feel fainty and now have to lay down to get it done. >.< I'm like WHY. I'm so used to this! What changed?! What's wrong with my brain or whatever is causing this??? I was perfectly used to this? I'm so frustrated!!

I don’t mind having blood drawn as long as I don’t look at the needle going in. I always look away, then it’s fine. Telling bad jokes when it’s happening also helps.

I’m the same way, Dreamy.

I was always terrified of the idea of having blood drawn, but I recently had a physical exam by my doctor, and the blood draw wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was over in less than a minute, and I did not look.

This should accurately reflect my response to this:  🩸 + 👀 = 💀

Not good. I cant put on a tough act around needles, oh how I hate them!
