I got one before, doesn't hurt much

its fun when you got a catheder(sp?)  in your arm. then they can just plug in at random and grab a little whenever they feel like it.

catheter sounds painful!

i never remember getting this done wtf? i mean it mightve happened when i was like 3 or something but other then that no. is it required?

Getting blood taken is nearly completely painless. When people tell you all you feel is a prick, its the truth.
Unless you tense your muscles when the needle is in your arm, then it will hurt like a loving bitch and your arm will be sore for at least a week, so just relax.

I remember the last time I went to do this. It was in August. It was fine untill when she stuck the needle in there, she started digging around for the vein or whatever they need. Otherwise, these are nothing, really.

catheter sounds painful!

only when they put it in. or remove it XD
cuz you kinda heal around it and it becomes you!

then some bitch nurse is like, ok we dont need it anymore *yank


i got my blood tested recently because my hemoglobin levels were low
and the nurse was mental or something because she just could not get any blood out
i'm sitting there for five minutes with a woman ramming a needle into my arm, and wiggling it all around trying to find a vein
hate needles

expect to get your skin rubbed with alcohol, flicked to make the veins more visible, then stabbed with a needle all the way into your vein

then you get to watch the blood squirt out in little rythmic bursts until your blood fills a couple tubes.

Also, i get to stay home all day :)

I love having my blood tested
It doesn't hurt and I enjoy seeing my blood flow through the tube :)
