[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 193380, member: 3626"] I have severe needle phobia. I also have to have blood drawn every 3 months. One thing that does help is I watch every move the phlebotomist makes. It was after about 3 years of almost fainting when they drew the blood for someone to suggest I watch what was happening. It made a HUGE difference. I also insist on either the butterfly if more than one tube is needed or an infant's needle (very small veins that turn here). I'm glad it went well. There really is something frightening about the idea of someone using a needle to get some of your body fluids. It just doesn't seem right. [/QUOTE]
