⭐ Kiki's Year Long 🌶️

I've had blood drawn once. I was 6 or 7 I think. I've also had to have a IV-that felt strange.

IVs are so weird.
Out of all the things that they can stick in you, though, catheters remain at the top of my "Unpleasant Thingies" list.

Two years ago, I got really sick and had to go to the hospital. I was really dehydrated. I also got a ultrasound (twice, actually), the doctor thought I had appendicitis.

Oh, no. What was it, if I may ask?

Oh, no. What was it, if I may ask?

Went to two different hospitals, and they never figured it out. They assumed it was just some bad virus.

Sorry kiddo. Bummer for your experience. As a longtime blood donor, needles are not even scary for me. The phlebotomist attitude however...... Is a very different animal. I volunteered in boot camp to be a pincushion for training them on my vascularity. Long standing joke in that circle is I have veins a drug user would kill for. (Smirks)

yeah I had a bad experience around age 5 too but managed to overcome it and became blood donor and class pin cushion for both my hygiene class and dental class......somehow needles in the mouth seem to be way scarier to most peeps than even blood draws

*Shudders* last year I found out a baby tooth that should have come out of my mouth when I was like 10 was stuck inside my mouth. It had become infected and cracked in half! They stuck a needle directly into my gums right by the infection! NEEDLES IN THE MOUTH ARE AWFUL.

yeah infection makes things worse.....in general, it’s not the needle that hurts because they are actually tiny....it’s the fact that the medication burns and expands a very small space in the tissue

Needles in the mouth don't bother me nearly much. Needles in the arm though I hate.

Needles don’t bother me at all.
