I am completely terrified of needles, though I did have an injection when my throat was swelling closed from strep last spring. Blood draws and IVs are out of the question, just the thought of possibly having that happen sends me into severe panic attacks. Something about the needle going into a vein is worse than into a muscle for me. Its been 7 years since I had a blood test of any type and since that incident almost ended up with me being charged with assault against the lab tech, I have zero desire to try again. I've often joked that if I'm ever horribly sick or injured and end up in the ER, they'd best hope (for their sake) that I'm brought in unconscious.
