im like chrissie when they try to take blood my veins collapse so they cant get any out, they used to call the doctor in to do it in the army med centre now they call a different nurse

i'd love to do it but i don't think they'd want me falling all over the place LOL just hope i don't have to have any more for a long time

karen i am the same.i don't even have to have the needle in my arm to pass out.and heres from a lady that is to become a blood donorxxxx(:

Karen (and all those who hate needles) Just be pleased you aren't me. I have quite prominant veins and yet, for some reason, nurses who try to take my blood can never get any at the first go. It always takes them a minimum of three attempts. I always warn them first and the last time I went the nurse said "oh I see what you mean". On the second attempt she said "oh,I think I have got it", but when no blood came she proceeded to wiggle the needle about. On the third attempt, after much more wiggling of the needle she managed to get some and said she hoped that would be enough. So did I :))))))))))) Chrissie x (obviously a vampire in need of a fix:))))))))))

Thanks Rose, the neck seems to be getting better now, Karen

Sorry to hear about that,hope you feel better now.Might be an idea to get the neck checked out.Trapped nerve maybe-Rose

thanks Alan,i don't suppose it helps being on the computer all the time Karen

I give blood regularly. And i'm sure they love using me as a dartboard. I went dizzy, and nearly passed out. I hope your neck gets better soon.x

I've done exactly the same as you. The doctor said don't look, so being a woman I did look and that was it.......gone! Jo.

its strange because needles don't actually bother me but i think you could be right about the blood pressure

Your blood presure may have been low, I am the same where neddles are concerned , was a nervous wreck last Friday Margaret

Oh poor you,I hope your neck gets better, I have never fainted, but I shake some thing rotten when I see a needle. Bev

i had to go for a blood test yesterday,everything was fine,blood taken,plaster on arm,then everything went black and i was gone.i felt such a fool,luckily my mum had come with me so i had someone to help but when i fainted i did something to my neck and now am in pain every time i look left :-(((((
