Yup.
It was a few years back at school when we was having a jab. The nurse knew me and brought me over to the table with all the needles, then i realised what was going on and tried to leg it. I was chased around the hall by 2 of the nurses and 2 of the teachers.
Oh it was not fun been held down screaming and kicking. :)
Another next year? No way :)

A tip from my med tech friend.
When they swab the injection spot with rubbing alcohol, if that doesnt completely dry, it can contribute to the sting since the needle carries it into the injection.
Only my kids have been restrained for immunizations. Also Ive had nurses do injections where you cant even feel it. This is a field where I really prefer someone with experience.

How previous are you?! My son became into conserving out his arm for IV's and photos whilst he became into 3. babies are limited. I comprehend which you have a phobia of needles, yet you could desire to triumph over that. you will desire blood tests for something of your existence. prepare your self proper to the entire technique. on an identical time as you could in no way incredibly like the technique of having a needle inserted on your arm, and you could in no way be waiting to computer screen, you may desire to be waiting to take administration of your self adequate to undergo this without being held down. For one concern, desire to be calm. Make up your ideas which you would be an person approximately this technique that could desire to be executed. Then, once you're seated, "take" your ideas to a different place which you delight in. communicate some thing that brings you excitement and excitement. The technique will basically take a minute or 2. in the previous you be attentive to it, you would be on your way. maybe you may desire to ask a pal or kinfolk member who's soft around medical approaches to accompany you and consult with you to distract you.

Yes!! It left me scared of doctors for twenty years. You need to get some help on your fear of needles and then life will be simpler. Find a counselor trained in thought field therapy (TFT) They can do wonders

No, but maybe they felt it was for your own good. I think that they shouldn't be allowed to though. They might give someone a heart attack.
