Squeamish? by denful

Squeamish?

I am taking part in a survey for NHS. Every fortnight I have to have a blood test and nasal swab!
My mum if she were here would never believe I had volunteered especially as I had the worst needle phobia. Over the years with all the needles I have had to face. I can even look.
eeekkkk......we are taking part in a survey for Oxford University......they have taken blood and swabs and are coming back once a week for swabs, then once a month..........we are negative so far ! That looks far more complex than our one .......I am also not good with needles (and this from someone with 5 tattoos) !

You are a glutton for punishment ha ha I don't mind having blood taken but I have pommie veins and they aren't easy to find so I have to have the 'kiddie' needle.

Sadly a fact of life these days. Good for you managing the photo one handed!

Oh I’m with you, I’m not a fan of needles. You’re very brave.

@cutekitty I ha very been negative so far!! 👍
@onewing my veins are dreadful but I work on the paediatric ward so our phlebotomist is used to tiny veins and now knows they are only likely to give blood if a butterfly needle is used!
@bkp only my iPhone so not too heavy 😘
@yoland I have had to learn to be over the years x
