I would pass out every time I had some sort of blood draw and come close to it before every other type of shot. <BR/><BR/>IVF helped me get over that fear. The first few shots were rough, as I needed to really get over it, but after awhile it became old hat. I saw it as the ends to a means and that it had to be Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395292624496101789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460629623341461214.post-44573732478813266032008-10-03T10:32:00.000-04:002008-10-03T10:32:00.000-04:00Just came from the L&F - I hope acupuncture is...Just came from the L&F - I hope acupuncture is as good for you as it has been for me. I don't have an issue with needles, but I feel so much better and more balanced, physically and emotionally, since I started doing it. It is so great to have something that makes me feel so relaxed and blissed-out, and I don't have to do anything but lie there. Good luck and way to go for being so annacyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461037288546901657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460629623341461214.post-36989067822002465812008-10-03T09:49:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:49:00.000-04:00I'm very prone to fainting and almost passed out d...I'm very prone to fainting and almost passed out during injectables training for IVF. Acupuncture REALLY helped me become more comfortable with the injections. Best thing ever! I still would not watch the acupuncturist insert the needles, and I still need to lie down for blood draws. But I made it through injectables without any problems.

Passing out and everything.<BR/><BR/>You'll hear this from everyone that does acupuncture but you won't believe them until you go the first time: you will not feel the needles. It's true! They're the teeny tiniest needles ever. There's a clicking noise before they're inserted which is scarier then the needle itself. <BR/><BR/>Seriously. <BR/><BR/>I Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10523081089742469926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460629623341461214.post-1581531325999435362008-10-01T16:25:00.000-04:002008-10-01T16:25:00.000-04:00I don't have a fear of needles but I do have a fea...I don't have a fear of needles but I do have a fear of getting my eye poked out (it's a totally weird and irrational fear, I don't know where I got it but every time I'm lying down I'm convinced everything is out to get my eyes) so I was nervous about acupuncture for that reason. But I LOVE it. The needles are so, so tiny that you don't even feel them. It is totally relaxing and wonderful. I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
