You'll be fine! Just relax. Shots don't really hurt as bad as you might prophesize. Just look away when they give them to you. Talk to your mom while they give you the shots, to distract you from them.
And the physical isn't that bad. They just take your weight, height, and maybe a urine sample.
Good luck!

ok i hate shots to but don't stress about it. tell the person giving them to you that you are scared they are really good at calming people down when they are giving them it is a big help. blood from your finger really dose not hurt i have had that done the scariest part is the sound from the needle thing they use, then they will squeeze your finger it is only a drop of blood. the physical is not bad cant tell you exactly what they will do the only ones i have had are for the military so they are a lot more strict. it is not that big of deal. Just think of it this way everyone else in you school will be having the same thing done so you are not alone. just make sure you tell them you are scared of shots they will talk to you and you will not even feel it

First, tell the nurse who is going to give you the shots that you are very scared. Then, ask her if you can yell "OUCH!!" real loud 3 times, and during one of those times, can she go ahead and give one shot, and then repeat that if the shots are individual (although most likely they will all be combined) and since you will be concentrating on yelling (although remember there are other people in the other exam rooms too) and you won't even feel the shot. As far as the Physical, they will check your lungs,chest,
ears,eyes, throat,reflexes and that's about it. As far as getting blood taken from your finger, you could try biting on the top joint of a finger for a few minutes prior to getting the blood drawn, as this will numb the skin and you will not feel the stick. Also, turn your head and you could also practice the yell technique here too.
Good Luck!!!

You are just having your Booster Shots. Nothing to be afraid of. Will be done in seconds and you probably wont feel a thing.
The blood drawn from your finger is to check your iron level. Nothing to that either. Diabetics have to check theirs all the time. Make sure you hands are CLEAN before you leave for the doctors. They usually wipe it down with alcohol anyways.
Ask mom to give you Tylenol just before you leave for the doctor. That way you will have something inside you for the "pain". That's what is recommended for babies when they get their shots.
The physical is nothing too. Just routine height, weight, blood pressure and a bunch of questions are asked.

Before you go to the doctor you need to practice closing your eyes and putting the most beautiful place that you could ever be at in your mind. picture yourself in that place and nothing is going to hurt you or cause you any trouble. Once you get used to this place, and going there in your mind then you can do this when they are giving you the shots and the finger prick. You can put anything you want in your 'happy' place and stay calm there cuz nothing is there but peaceful feelings. Good luck and you can also ask the nurse to make sure that the alcohol spot is dry before they give you the shot. Good luck and relax this to shall pass and you can handle this. I have faith in you .

You'll live wait until you have kids and you have to watch them give 4 shots at once to your baby. They'll do it fast. Tell mom to take you for chocolate icecream when you are done Icecream fixes anything. A physical is just an exam you've probably had one before and blood from your finger it's just a drop no big deal diabetics have to do that everday.

don't worry. I just had my shot on the last day of schol! R U getting a tetnus shot? If u R, DO NOT look at the needle! I have all my shots taken for 7th grade. So, just don't think about the shots. And the phisical is nothing. When they draw UR blood, just pretned that its an ant bite. Trust me... I was in ur shoes!!!

Calm down! Take some deep breaths! Remember - they will only hurt if you are tense. If you go in there relaxed, the needle won;t have such a hard time, and you will hardly feel a thing. Listen to some music - maybe take an mp3 player in there with you or something. Just remember to take deep breaths, and don't hyperventilate!

First of all a physical isn't bad at all and your mother will be with you.Second when the doctor comes in to draw blood and give the shots let him know your really scared.Don't turn your head or shut your eyes, watch what he is doing,he'll explain everything to you and knowing is half the battle.We all need shots during our lives and trust me no one loves them.
