Do You Hate to Have an Injection as a part of your treatment?

It's very ironic that you would start this discussion as I'm going in about 30 minutes to have my weekly allergy injections! I've been get my shots, as I call them, for at least 14 years, so I suppose I've gotten used to it. I get two shots, one in each arm sometimes. It's to build up my antibodies to certain new things that I'm allergic to. It's not a very fun experience, but I go through with it for my health's sake! The things we do to stay healthy - lol. However, when I think about the fact that I'm having a needle put into my skin that contains who knows what all I'm allergic to, then it makes me really tense and it hurts! If I don't think about it and relax, the injection is perfectly fine. They say if you're tense when you're getting an injection, it will hurt more especially afterwards. So I try my best to relax when I'm getting them.

oh yes definitely am scared of injections! but i guess sometimes it's unavoidable..i guess it depends on the doctors too, like how they do it. sometimes i feel a bit painful when i get an injection, other times i don't feel painful at all hehe!

Yes, I hate an Injection as part of my treatment. But if I need to take a capsule or tablet as part of my treatment I will take that. Injection is my last option to treat my sickness.

Injections don't bother me at all.

I have always hating jabs and the last two i've had i've passed out during or shortly after. I don't know why I just hate them even talking about them now is making my arm feel all weak and horrible!! I was recently told that acupuncture would be good to treat my arm condition, I sucked it up, I was brave, I faced my fear.....I was on the floor within minutes...it might have helped my arm but the rest of me sure felt like hell!! I've never had to have blood drawn but i'm dreading the day I do!!

I hate injections , they hurt , oOuch , i can tka epills or drink syrups but no way for an injection ! i just had injections when i was a kid , i always shake my hands when someone tries to inject medicine into my viens !

well yeah, i hate injections, i am a nursing student but duh! i hate injections... i understand how people feel about injections when they say they are afraid because i am too. i am trying to overcome it because i should not be afraid to inject people myself... but well, i am really afraid.

i dont mid it as long as i realy reqire it.otherewise its a real pain in the a**..........

I think for me to hate the injection is not the right word to use, the right word for me is don't like it as part of my treatment. Every time the doctor told me that I will need to have a few or an injection my palm will directly became so cold and automatically get sweat. But to tell the truth, I think the injection pain is not that much which I can't stand. I just don't get my self why every time I heard about injection which I have to take, then the whole body will become cold. Guess may be my nervous system already mark that injection word will make my body shaking and cold hahahaha

Yes, I mean definitely, I think most of the people hate to have injections as a part of their treatment. Actually, an year ago I suffered from DENGUE (a severe disease caused by mosquitos), I had a blood test (using an injection)after every three or four hours, I was hospitalized for seven days and the result was that I got used to INJECTIONS....LoL

I hate to have an injection as the treatment. As I am scared of it. Although it is not that painful, but I am afraid of it anyway. I dare not to look at the needle injects my body.

I hate going to the doctors altogether. I think it is because when I was a kid, whenever we went to the doctors office, no matter what the complaint was..we got a shot. I would cry and cry. I hate shots. The funny thing is, I don't mind giving blood, but I hate when something is injected.

I have a fear of injection!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to the doctors is scary enough as it is. You never know what kind of new sickness they'll find in you. I'm a bit paranoid, so I often get nervous when it comes to doctor's appointments. That's why I rarely keep them. But when you have to go, you have to go. It was the post-SARS days when I had to go to a study tour in China. My mom made sure to bring me to the doctor before leaving. I was so scared because I heard from my friends that they were giving shots to those leaving the country. I was really nervous that time since my last shot was about a couple of years ago. And I had the right to be because they injected, not one, but three shots! Some vaccines whose names I can't even remember. Not only that, but they also had to draw blood from my arm. It was probably the most semi-traumatic time of my life. *shivers* I hope I never have to go through that again.

i don't really like injections as well... i always freak out whenever i have to be injected... especially when i am still a girl... but now that i had grown up, i get better and i'm not that scared of needle anymore...

I dont like injections either but if its going to help me then I just grin and bear it. Be strong!

well..i have not experienced that God forbids!! but for me im not afraid of injection...i can tolerate pain i guess..but my daughters are like you ..hate the needle..

I don't need them very often at all but needles have never bothered me even when having blood drawn. My s/o has a problem with them thoough. The last time he had to have blood drawn he passed out cold and was too shaky and weak afterwards to go back to work for two full days.

I really hate injections but unfortunately, I have to have daily injections and blood tests regularly. You do get used to them after a while ......

back when i was in elementary, i had dengue fever.. they needed to get blood samples from me every few hours to check my platelet count (which means they inject me to get some blood out).. and i really hate it.. i used to give the nurses a hard time.. but one of them said that the needle might break (while it's being injected) if i move too much.. i didn't even resisted after that.. fearing that the needle might really break.. lol..
