I Have a Phobia of Needles

@yeronlyman EMLA cream doesnt work for me, and the topical is not enough

@Alanuin are they injecting intramuscular or skin or drawing blood?

all of the above

@Alanuin you could try TENS

Avoiding tender area in the muscle when injecting can make it easier and can avoid the nociceptors (pain receptors)
Injecting is safe and very little harm can be done when’s one right

because of my syndrome i was born with my nociceptors are in different places, they proved that when i went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled.

Dialysis for kidney failure, specifically HEMODIALYSIS they stick a huge needle in your arm, in a different place each time, so that is even more painful.

That is a sample of my fear, but i cant even look or i will faint.

There is more too it for me, but i cant explain.

@Alanuin how do you mean your nociceptors are in a different place?
Not sure I’ve heard of that

Respect

they are nerves basically.

@Alanuin an I know what nociceptors, but not sure what you meant by in a different place

It’s sounds like you have some form of allodynia, central sensitisation

my genes have been malformed

@Alanuin okay thanks for sharing and hope you manage
Thanks
