Well there's this new super duper uber giant roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland (called Behemoth), and there's this thing about putting up ur hands on the first HUGE drop the first time u go on. I went with 2 of my cousins, and even tho i felt like i was just about to die and fall out, i managed to put my hands up, and before I knew it, it was over. Then it was pretty cool and worth those few seconds of terror because both my cousins werent able to put up their hands (one's older, and one's slightly younger than me) and my older brother who went a few days later for the first time couldnt either! My advice: just do it, it'll be over really fast.

Oh I know, I've had a fear of needles since I was little. Then my mother because an acupuncturist, and I started hand sewing. I've stepped on plenty of needles and only shrugged. Anyway, I was sort of forced to conquer my fear, which I guess was a good thing (though I am still a bit scared). For you, what others say is right: you just kinda have to do it and get it over with. It's not easy to conquer fears, don't blame yourself. Zhanneel's right; think of how much worse off you'd be without these shots. There's so much more to life than fear, and needles are such a small part of life, really ('cept if your an acupuncturist like my mommy x.<). Just stay calm, you can do it ^^ Hope it goes well ♥

If theres a competition about who is scared of needles more, I win first prize.
After a terrifying expirience when I was 7, when for a rootine test I was tied to a chair completely, and the docs were SSOOO good that I screamed so much my parents had to rush in to take me out(my whole generation who visited the specific clinic in the town has been tramatised), I still see needles and get goosebumps. Not once, but often i create havoc when I go to tests or vaccinations.
1. For a three shot titanic vaccination, my mum and the doctor had to chase me in the stairs in the building of the clinic for 15 min to get me still to take the shots. 2. I have run or walked out of blood tests about 3 times. 3. I can't sleep the nights before blood tests. 4. I force them to use butterfly(yeah, I am doodle, so what?), and only on top side of my hand. Considering i am half-anemic, good luck trying to find a vein. 5. I always get the results wrong. You see, having low blood pressure and iron deficiency, I NEED to be calm when they are taking blood, otherwise, with the anxiousness, they may rise dramatically for the moment, giving false indications. Only now I've started to calm down early enought. 6. I never go alone to the clinic.

Well, I asked so much if I could be put into unconscious-ness, but it won't be practical or possible to draw blood. Also, its way expensive to pay the anastetic.
For everyone, young or old, you should do blood tests at least once a year, for sure. It can help detect something which can turn bad afterwards. Its not the best expierience, but totally needed.

P-Girl my sympathies are with you on that one, I also have a big fear of dogs. When I was small I used to have a lot of dogs and I never use to be afraid, and then my biggest dog did something to his leg ( don't remember, I was about 4 ) and he had to be shot (literally,with a gun). I cried for days on end after that happened, and for some reason whenever any dog comes anywhere near me I get petrified by them. And I'm also afraid of needles And the sight of Blood makes me want to vomit. I had to go to the clinic with my grandma once, and I literally nearly dropped to the floor when I saw the needle go into her arm. There's probably no cure for them, apart from just facing the problem instead of being afraid. Like Zhanneel suggested you just have to remember that the shots are important and will help you, so I guess it would be worth the 5 seconds of petronising scaredness and pain, right?
