Don't you have anyone who can go with you??? A second person can be a great comfort. I don't have blood taken that often but when I do I take a real big breath in just before the needle goes in and exhale while the blood is being taken. That way I concentrate on my breathing and not what's going on. Be strong because if this blood test can reveal what's happening then you will be so relieved. Good luck and I'll be watching on Monday for an update.
