We weren't allowed to practice on each other at my nursing school, but if you can that's a good way. I was really nervous the first few times I gave injections too...it comes with being a nursing student. I learned to just be assertive when giving the shot. The slower you are when you are nervous the more it hurts the patient. Just go for it when giving a shot...your patients will thank you for it.

People are scared of all kinds of things.  The best way to get over a phobia, any phobia, is to try it out and  discover how irrational it is to fear something...  ...especially something as delicious as kissing.

I'm afraid of needles, but I do try to suck it up and give blood anyway at least once a year. It is for a good cause.

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.

There will be a needle, but probably only one, to start an IV. An IV needle hurts less than a shot, because it doesn't go into the muscle, jut the skin and blood vessel.\n\nIf you are this frightened, make sure your docs, nurses and anesthesiologist all know. They can give you something to help or help you understand what's going to happen. A calm patient usually heals better than a terrified one, so they will help.\n\nMost general anesthesia is given--at least the part that you will actually experience--in the IV. They usually tell you to count backwards from ten. Few people get to six before they're asleep. It actually feels VERY nice, like happy, dizzy, and passing out, kinda like some illegal drugs. But it lasts only a few seconds, so don't worry.\n\nThe ONLY job the anesthesiologist has is to keep you asleep, comfortable and alive, and believe me, they concentrate fully on that job. You'll do fine.

Though injections are vital for preventing and treating diseases, they are almost universally disliked by children and adults. The fear of injections, however, may soon be a thing of the past. In July 2005, a painless needle went on sale to hospitals and other medical facilities. The instrument was jointly developed by two Tokyo-based companies - Terumo Corporation, a medical equipment manufacturer, and Okano Industrial Corp., a firm with an international reputation for its metal-pressing technology - with the goal of reducing the pain of shots.\n\n Okano Masayuki, is known as a world-class craftsman and has been called a "metalwork magician."

You have a phobia and should seek professional help.  There are many things in today's world that will help you deal with this.  But it all starts by seeking professional help

I had the same problem. Now, I take injections. They're expensive, but your insurance company can cover them mostly and you can give them yourself. They almost always produce results. I was 4 foot 3 and now, even though i've only been doing them for two months, I'm 4 foot 6 and still growing.

You just do it. It's the only way to start overcoming your fear. I fear the same sometimes, eventhough I had trouble doing it, but I still did it (at school). Most people who don't have this fear are very confident. Not that you're not confident, just a little shy. So, again, just do it and afterwards you'll be "what was I afraid of?" Then you are more relaxed and proud that you did it. Good Luck.

injections for what? It's hopeless to get answers without a full question.

You can try a herbal product called Valerian. Actually valerian is what they use to make valium anyway. You may also want to try taking some B vitamins, they are good for strengthening freyed nerves.\nI hope this helped!

Being Aichmophobic (phoibic of needles) is no easy thing at all... True phobias can affect our lives in powerful and horrifying ways. They can control us and even reduce our life spans by making constant stress. Being affraid of needles can hinder in your general health as well... You are less likely to visit doctors or get important medical atteniton because you are afraid of a shot. You are also likely to hurt yourself in an attempt to flee someone with a needle, or can hurt others.\n\nFirst we need to discuss the underlying reasons for Aichmophobia...Most Aichmophobia stems from a childhood memory of pain. So, unbeknownst to the person, they really have TWO phobias... Aichmophobia AND Agliophobia (phobia of pain). Knowing and accepting this allows better treatment.\n\nTreating a true phobia can be very hard...Besides self treatment, which is you constantly repeating to yourself, "It doesn't hurt that bad." until you are desensitized, most people need to seek professional help. Doctors can provide therapy, hypnosis, and medication that are tailored for each indiviual person.\n\nI'd like to share more with you and your friend about phobias. I have a blog that I wrote entitled, "Understanding The Face of Fear...Phobias In Our Lives...". I invite you to read it... God bless! :)\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-Owqx0FA7eqJiQrwovLruo7NQuosKnA--?cq=1&p=3

1) Breathe\n2) Try listening to your fav music with headphones\n3) Remember there is a LOT of blood in your body, which will be replaced immediately when a tiny amount of it is taken out for testing.\n4) Watch programs like Nip Tuck before going to give blood. It is all made up artificially & is hysterically funny. If it bothers you watching the false stuff, just think that at least you aren't going through that & giving a bit of blood is not so hard after all.\n5) Promise yourself a treat afterwards, like your fav choc bar.\nYou basically have a phobia. We all have them but it must not run your life.\nI have given blood for years. I think of all the people it is helping. Giving blood + injections have never bothered me. It is just something we have to face. Think of what you want to achieve - ie: the cross cuntry - and think of this as a hurdle that you have to jump over.
