Is there any way to avoid going to the doctor?

Question

I'm going for my school physical next week and my mom said I'm getting shots!!!!

Is there any way to get out of it?

I hate shots. I act like such a baby. I cry sometimes and it's embarassing.

Answer 1

Maybe try researching online, then show mom, how immunizations may cause more harm than good. There are many studies on that subject.

But, since public schools require proof of shots in order to go to school, you may be out of options if you want to attend school.

Answer 2

Have your doctor slap you so it stings right before he/she gives the shot. The slap minimizes the pain of the injection.

I just completed a program of 3 injections to each knee. They tell you not to move, but the natural reaction to pain is to jerk away.
Those shots were excruciating for about 10 to 15 seconds(if you count 1001,1002..... you'll see how long this is).

I would breathe like I was having a baby.
I would sing nonsense songs.

The anticipation of the shots can make them worse. It's a natural reaction to tense up when you anticipate pain. Tensing your body means if the shot goes into a muscle it hurts more than if the muscle is relaxed.

Learn to put your mind somewhere else.
When I used to go to the dentist I used to focus all my concentration on my big toe. It takes some practice but it worked for me.

Don't pay attention to anyone who teases you. Everyone feels pain differently. That is a known fact.
