Fears

Even though I'm 16 now, my biggest fear hasn't changed since I was, little. I'm completely scared of shots. I hate them. Expecially in grade school when you had to go to the doctor every year for your school physical and get a series of shots, it seemed like every time I went to the doctor I had to get some sort of shot for something, which made me scared of the doctors office in general. It got to the point where my mom wouldn't even tell me that I had an appointment untill the day of, even like a few hours before it, because I would get myself so worked up (I guess she still basically has to do that now.)
My mom is a crazy health freak, and even though she knows that I hate shots, whenever she hears of a new vaccination, (that ussually isn't even required or necisary in the first place), she'll make sure that I get it.
This summer I was in the hospital and had to get my first IV and I literally almost passed out because of it, and the whole time I had it in I couldn't becacuse I knew it would make me puke.. Just the fact of knowing that I had a needle IN my arm for a few days made me sick, I don't even like thinking about it.

Don't worry, I'm not a big fan of shots either. I can't even imagine what it would be like to get an IV.

When I was little my sister and I use to go to get shots together. I would always make her go first because we were both equally scared of shots. We use to dreed it too, but after you have your first blood with drawn for test by yourself you realize shots aren't so bad. 10 inch long needles are much worse. But I am totally with you.

I can't say I was a big fan of shots when I was a kid either. Hopefully one day you'll not mind them. :]

I can understand where you're coming from with the whole shots thing.

I wouldn't be really scared except the first time they tried to take blood from me. It took them 7 tries to get the vein. :(
