I would just die of a heart attack if the...Oh my... I would just die of a heart attack if they took that long to take blood from me!<br /><br />When I was pregnant I found out I had a blood clotting disorder and needed blood thinner injections in my stomach twice a day. I seriously considered not having my baby for a split second because of how paralyzing my fear of needles is. I didn't see how I could possibly get through it. Then the doctor finally suggests I use a prescription numbing cream and that basically saved me. I was able to get through it. I still use numbing cream whenever I have to give blood or in any other needle situation. I even used numbing cream before getting my tattoo! I am SUCH a big baby!<br /><br />Hopefully tomorrow I can say the test was no big deal and it wasn't all that bad. I just really hope they get results from this test. I don't want to go through all this and not have any results. That would be so disappointing!Alyssa Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131073751821793862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765292147771027340.post-85909798643437087292011-05-18T16:48:30.637-04:002011-05-18T16:48:30.637-04:00Oh darling, my heart goes out to you.

First time I got rushed in, it took them 45minutes to take blood. Second time, 2 hours. My veins are so thin and deep.<br />The last time I was in, I lost count of how many of them tried, but at that point I was so tired, and in so much pain, I stopped caring. Which was kinda nice. Before I would have such bad panic attacks I would just pass out. <br /><br />Best of luck hun, try memorising a relaxing song as something to focus on tonight, and tomorrow, listen to it in your head. I found that sometimes helped me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241884213374832761noreply@blogger.com
