    Its probably because you know its gonna hurt and you control when its gonna hurt, and you dont like inflicting pain on yourself.

    do you think your partner can do it for you?

  • I can't look at the needle when someone gives me shots, draws my blood, etc. Some people just can't see it actually happening, just let someone else do it from now on!

    drink plenty of fluids before hand...try not to put your forward too much during the shots and keep a cold wash cloth near by,.,.
