i'm right with ya man. i can handle blood tests now NP. for me its visual. If i don't look ill be fine.I'm not afraid of needles man Its just a reaction my body has when it sense the blood being drawn from my veins. My body fights against it by constricting my veins and blood vessels to keep the blood from leaving and this in turn cuts off the blood supply to my brain which causes me to faint.
I don't like passing out during blood work it scares the shit out of me but yesterday I had the nurse lay me down in a chair flat on my back so that the blood could still get to my brain and I was fine through the whole thing I didn't get dizzy or sweaty.
For my pre cycle bloodwork I tried to be hard-ass and didn't tell the nurse to lay me down and I kept telling myself I would be okay and I wasn't even that nervous but then I woke up sweating like a mofo and dizzy and the nurse was apologizing like it was her fault lol.
Donating blood however is a horrible experience for me, but i'm doomed to doing it every 3 months for the rest of my life due to trt lol. Within 45 seconds, i get nauseous and pale. and it takes about ten minutes haha. Now i know to have the nurse tilt my chair back and put my legs up. then she puts a cold wet cloth on my forehead and gives me a gingerale with a long ass straw that reaches my mouth from the table. never feel like more of a pussy ass bitch than when i give blood.
