Jordan,

I'm petrified of needes. I have to get a blood test tomorrow, orders of my intestinal dr.

I'm so scared, that last time my mom took me I would not get out of the car, and we ended up leaving. OK, sorry, just really worried...

You'll be fine. I'm glad you're going to go to the Dr. soon, and I'll be praying it is something small.

Britt,
oooh, you have to get a blood test?! I'm sooo sorry..lol...I make it sound like your dieing

I hope it's nothing serious, if you don't mind me asking, what's it for?

I have to go in for blood tests every three months (diabetic). Every time they put a needle in my arm, my veins retract. The only vein that works if the one on the back of my left hand. There is a product called "Emla" that numbs the area before the needle goes in, and you honestly can't feel ANYTHING. I hate blood tests and getting shots (from someone who isn't me) so I searched until I found something to make the experience more comfortable. Maybe talk to your doctor and the pharmacist about this product? Good luck

Anything to get rid of the yucky feeling....blah...

Believe me its taken me years to finally get over being terrified of needles, now i realize i get worked up about nothing , but i still will, so remember its only a little prick usually and all over and done with, i need to take my own advice here,
As for the thyroid maybe causing your problem, i wonder are you hyper most of the time, my mother had that and she could not sit still for one minute just wondering. good luck

Well, sometimes...And when I get hyper, I get reeeeally hyper

And I really embarass my friends on purpose heehee

But only about 1/3 of my time is spent being hyper...It usually takes a certain setting, or a certain person to wake me up and jump around and get all hyper

I lost some more weight --- But hey, that's not all too bad, right?

I'm down to 120...I lost six pounds
