Needle Phobia
Does anyone else out there suffer from this horrible phenomenon? Up until about 5 years ago I was absolutely fine with needles/injections, then after fainting during my BCG (TB vaccine...) I've been terrified.
The problem is that it has developed more and more, to the point now where I can't even sit in a doctor's waiting room without my heart racing and starting to feel faint. I really don't know what to do about it, I'm getting tired of worrying for days before the simplest of medical procedures, like an eye test or a filling at the dentist.
What's concerning me even more is that I really need to book my Class 1 (I've been ready to go solo for 2 months now) but I'm worried that I'm going to really panic once I get in there and end up in a mess. Does anyone have any advice, or any words of re-assurance on this matter?
