    Oh sure, many many times in my life. I suffer from belonephobia (an irrational fear of needles) but I had no choice in the matter and had to suck it up and get it done. Thankfully I've been a life-long weight-lifter and fitness enthusiast, so I have a lot of veins in my arms that are huge and practically pop out of my skin on their own. There have been times where I didn't even feel the needle. So don't you worry little sweetie, if a chicken like me can take it I'm sure you'll be just fine. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and imagine something you enjoy and you might not even notice when they do it.

    Source(s): Don't worry yourself hon. I'll be thinking positive for you tomorrow.

    Yes. Nothing to be scared of or worried about. The needle feels like a small pinch at first, and it's not painful. I've also given blood a number of times to the Red Cross, so I've had a needle in my arm for a number of minutes for that.

    Yes, drink water before you go in so the veins are easier to get to. That's what the lady that drew blood out told me to do next time I went in. Just breathe and look away while they're taking blood out. You'll be fine :)

    Yes, i Have. The first time, i Was SO scared. Legit sweating, nervous, SO scared. Cause I don't like needles. But I'm telling you, it isn't bad, at all. Relax. Don't worry. Stay calm. It's over in 30 seconds or less. It doesn't hurt. Let us know how it goes. good luck, sweetie! :)

    Too many to count. Beside having babies and surgeries and donating blood-which requires you get your blood tested,I've gotten very used to blood tests. It's really no big deal.

    Yeah. They actually fascinate me a lot....

    ESPECIALLY how dark the blood is without the direct exposure... I wish I could keep a vial of it, haha. XD
