Baby!
Get into the habit of donating blood (you're old enough), and having blood work done will seem like nothing! Good luck with the tests. Are you studying? Kevin

bloodwork is nothing. i had so much done before i was diagnosed with AS, it was like a regular thing.

Just don't do what I used to do which is hold your breath while they insert the needle and then try to "catch up" once the needle is in. You'll pass out for sure that way. Oh, and don't watch while they're taking your blood. Find something to look at to distract you or think happy thoughts. I'm a total sissy when it comes to needles

PS. Make sure that you stay seated for a few minutes after they've drawn your blood so that you don't stand up only to promptly fall down. The people where you get your blood drawn will completely understand if you don't leave immediately after you're done.

i watched the blood go out, and got up and walked away right after they slapped a band-aid on. just varies person to person i guess.

While going to college I donated blood for the coffee and donuts they served.

i got juice and soda and cookies and a t shirt and free passes to the casino cruise last time i donated blood
i like watching the needle go in that way i know when to expect it and then watch the old dirty blood flow out of me knowing i have fresh stuff on the way

and the needle isn't what you think it looks like. you have to watch the whole process.

What a bunch of babies! When I need blood in the ER, I just stick a five-inch needle into a big vein under the collar bone and get as much as I need.

i watch to know when the needle is going in, but after that i'm staring off trying to concentrate on something else besides the needle being in my arm. last time i had bloodwork done i had to sit in the chair for a little while and they gave me some juice and candy. then they wanted me to call them when i got home cause they were worried about me passing out while driving. apparently i looked worse than i felt.
