Question:
An embarrasing problem..... no abusive answers please?
I am really afraid of shots. I have not had one for two years though, but when I learned I had to have a TB test I go paranoid. Is there anything I can do to overcome this fear?
Answers:
I refuse vaccines of any kind, but when I have blood drawn (makes me queasy) I learned that if I suck on a peppermint or eat a chocolate covered caramel candy (and look away from the needle) it really helps a lot. Aromatherapy helps; spray on some great smelling perfume before you go in.
Don't feel bad. My brother faints every time he just LOOKS at a needle (he almost fainted at the birth of his child), while my little daughter is totally unfazed no matter how many times she gets stuck. We're all different.
