I needed to give many blood samples and I've need to be emitted in the hospital four times. not to mention all the shots I "had to have". This has given me plenty of practice with the dreaded needles. By now you are probably asking why I needed to endure such horrific circumstances. Well I passed out while I was at work, then when I got to the E.R. they found out my heart was acting crazy. And until last week I had no idea what was wrong with me. Even my three specialist didn't know what was wrong, until they call a "specialist of the specialists".
The technical term is Atrial tachycardia and low Vagal tone. Please do not ask me what that means I know nothing. All I know is that the doctors suggested I do yoga, okay... weird but I could try that. Then they said something that make me shiver, acupuncture. I was willing to try anything without meds but lets be real, no way in hell am I getting acupuncture. Then my mom called me and told me I was in fact getting acupuncture, and I have an appointment. I guess I will be getting more practice with the needles. 
i was just like you... they would tell me that i had to take my blood for some testes... and i would start crying! haha i would never be able to do acupuncture just thinking about it makes me shiver!
ReplyDeleteI used to not like needles, but now I don't mind them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the biggest fan of them either but sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do
ReplyDeleteNo way Jose, tons of tiny needles for the girl who needs to be strapped down for blood samples? This cannot end well.
ReplyDeleteI'm just kidding Holly. Look at all you've pulled through so far. You'll get through this!
Your totally not alone holly! I cry when they tell me i need a shot, i cry when i need a procedure done and they have to put an iv in. I've overcome my fear of blood tests though because at the beginning of the year i had to have 4 blood tests in a three month time period so that helped because i knew what to expect. maybe if you talk to someone who has had an acupuncture that would help ease your mind.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate them myself hope everything goes well for you Holly.

ReplyDeleteI was like that before my appendix ruptured and had to get tons of blood drawn and had to have an at home iv, which stunk
