You sound like me when I was younger!! Whenever I had to get a shot I would tell the nurse that I was really scared and didn't like needles and they would go really slow and explain to me what they were doing. I got my belly button pierced when I was 15, so there is some hope out there for you. Just close your eyes and have a friend hold your hand. I'm a nurse now, so I get to give the shots! That really helped me get over my phobia! ;)

Needles hurt, but many things hurt. That's just life.
But if it's just more than knowing it'll hurt, it's a phobia, an irrational fear. I had an extreme phobia of feet, and I've learned to decrease this and get on with my life. I think you've got to just let yourself know that you'll get over the pain you feel, the world's not going to end, and it really won't be that bad.
I hope I could help somewhat. Maybe tell your doctor about the fear before they give you a shot.

What makes it hurt worse is that you are thinking about it! Needles usually just sting you for a second or two. Then it's over. What makes it SEEM so bad is that you are all tensed up for it, and your pain is in your head.
How to get over it? Go get the shots, and don't watch them do it. Try to think about something else.

A typical shot really doesn't hurt that much at all. The buildup is in your head. Master your mind and you will be set free.
