does anyone else have this? actually I have a needle phobia but its funny because I have tattoos and piercings. I go into full panic mode if i have to have blood drawn, I'm talking cold sweats, dizzy, nausea, passing out. and dont even get me started on IV's I have no idea why, it's not like it's painful but i freak out....funny my GF is a nurse and was a phlebotomist when i met her.
So anyway, my gf is bugging me to go to the Dr. because i've been having really bad pains in my chest..mostly gallbladder area. But lately it's been all over my chest, sides and back too.Sharp little pains that come and go in different areas and when i'm at work hunched down lifting bags I feel like I cant breath everytime i put any strain on my muscles ...It's weird and I cant explain it.
I dont want to go because a) my severe needle phobia B) afraid to find out something could be really really wrong C) i dont want to have to have surgery because....the IV...the surgery doesnt bother me , it's that IV part i cant handle
I'm the type that will go to the dr. only when i'm drug in through the ER and I dont have a choice.
So i dont know what to do , I mean i know what I have to do but I dont wanna do it and I cant talk myself into it.
So I just needed to vent cause i'm freaking out...LOL yeh , big bad biker guy..scared of needles
