Dont worry about it, I had to get shots once and i just looked away and all i felt was one small little pinch. If you dont think about it, it's nothing to worry about

A REALLY old nurse showed me this trick one time-have the nurse pinch the skin at the injection site really hard! (I mean REALLY HARD-like she's trying to hurt you!) The pain of being pinched somehow seems to block the pain of the shot & it's a lot easier to deal w/ mentally!

Do you have an IPOD or MP3 player? Take it and listent o it while they do it.......OR just close your eyes and talk to the nurse the whole time to take your mind off it!!
It'll be ok, I just look the other way and dont watch!

Make sure you keep breathing. It will hurt if you hold your breath and are tense. Try to think about something else. And don't watch.

Take some Tylenol before you go and it helps me not to watch or they would never stick me if I did.

They aren't that bad. It's just you freaking yourself out. Just breathe and don't watch.
