Downside I need to get shots (needlephobia)
Upside literally everything else

How can a 4 year old who has a bad experience with a needle grow up to be a 48 year old with a needle phobia? I talked to Dr. Marie-Claude Grégoire about pain memories and what we can do now to help prevent this from happening. cbc.ca/news/health/ad… UCalgary Arts ACHRI Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation

Emo Axolotl Victoria 🎀🔆 reminds me of the first time I had to have blood taken wwhen I was 7 had like 5 nurses pin me down as I kept thrashing and screaming lmao. Needlephobia is a trip

Hearing about a needle-less covid vaccine on BBC News (UK) !!!! Thank you to people like Alasdair Munro for making things like this possible. Needle-less vaccines would literally change my life - and I’m sure many others!! #NeedlePhobia #Phobia #HealthAnxiety #Vaccine #COVID

Experts say protection against UV rays and watching for changes in your skin are important tools in skin cancer risk prevention.

Shoutout to the amazing pharmacist at Walgreens who sang Hamilton with me to help calm me down in order to get my #FluShot and #BivalentBooster . I’m double jabbed and not throwing away my shot! IMPACT4HC

A thread on having a #needlePhobia

Never forget what they did to our children.

Girl cries 'no, please! no, please! I don't want it, please!' while 5 masked hospital workers stand over her and force the COVID vaccine.

When a patient says no, you stop.

If someone told me 1yr ago I’d walk in to a pharmacy, on my own, and have a needle with no fears and no tears, and also feel nothing but relief, I would’ve slapped you. 28 year #needlephobia officially cured and protected (as best I can) from Omicron 💪🏼 #GetVaccinatedNow

#needlephobia patient who want some #freedom decided to go for #homehaemodialysis #HHD on #ropeladder Haemodialysis will fit in his to life this time. He is very happy that he made it. Patient consented to post his picture Jyoti Baharani Sr Stephanie Walker Annette Dodds💙 @Tami5174Tam

Literally no tips anyone has online helps I guess I have like intense needlephobia…

Number 14 is scary!! 🏝️😱

Penny Daflos Needlephobia has been given almost zero attention in govt strategy and it's a real contributor to hesitancy. Vaccine clinics are public places (so your anxiety becomes public), you have to watch others get shots, there are needles in plain sight - it's a needlephobic's nightmare.

on getting vaccinated while having bad needlephobia

Vaccinations are important for public health, yet #needlephobia can prevent children and adults from getting them. Very interesting article about this topic, with some suggestions for how to manage needle pain and anxiety #ItDoesntHaveToHurt

Shout out to anyone with anxiety about medical stuff or needlephobia who is pushing through it to get the jab anyway.

You're absolute legends. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

My extremely needlephobic 10-year-old got his shot this afternoon. It was so hard for him and I thought we were going to have to walk away but he did it!

#proudmama #needlephobia #vaccines

Shout out to all of the brave people who are TERRIFIED of shots and still showed up to get vaccinated/boosted. I see you. I am you.

Shoutout to all the brave souls who are battling their needlephobia while trying to get the vaccine. You're strong and you can get through this.

1st shot of Pfizer. I spent a good 24 hours prior to this freaking myself out over the actual shot and in 3 weeks I get to do it ALL over again.💉😬

(fyi girl the vid asked for the vax but unfortunately has needlephobia)

Needle phobia played a HUGE part in my tokophobia - had I not had the help I did, things like getting the vaccine today would have been almost impossible. I still need tea & biscuits after though!! #needlephobia #tokophobia #COVIDVaccination #perinatalmentalhealth #recovery
