I really thought blood extraction and vaccination is really that painful.Well, I just proved it isn't painful at all. When you are about to be vaccinated, it feels like once the needle is inserted into your skin, you'll feel that extreme pain, but, well, I just proved it's not the way i think it is.
Who's got vaccinated now? you should, flu is very much common especially now that it's rainy season.

Ewwww I hate needles and vaccinations. Only some of them really seem to do any good. I refused the flu shot 3 years running now and haven't had the flu and I work in a nursing home! I think everything just depends on the person. But some vaccinations are painful, the vacine itself. But congratulations on conquering you're fear :)

Thumbs up to the nurse who executed the vaccination. She really did a great job of not making me feel the pain at all.

You really met a good nurse. Hope all the nurses are good enough to make us feel less painful. Well, I'm not afraid of vacinations, but I don't like it. I won't do it unless I have to.But it's really not paiful, I remembered when my daughter was very young I brought her to vaccinate, when I came near the clinic door, many children were crying, I was surprised to see that because they haven't vaccinated yet. They were just afraid of it. And my daughter never cried for that because we told her she was brave and she believed it.So funny. Have a nice day!

I hate needles. I will really throw a fit whenever I see how long the needle is. And even though I'm scared, I don't know why I can't look away while the needle gets inserted through my skin.
Anyway, I've been trying to donate blood since two years ago. Unfortunately, my last two tries were rejected because of low blood pressure and anemia. I was advised to eat healthier and maybe I can qualify next time.

That's also of my fear. Well, I somewhat overcome that when I gave birth. I have passed my fears especially that I needed to underwent C-section. So I just don't got over the pierce of the needle but the knife as well. Well, the pain is worth it because I have an adorable son now.
