I feel like such a wimp when I go in and I’m like “hello, it’s me, the fainter”I cannot look whenever I get an injection/IV or get blood drawn. If I see the needle or blood I get sick and feel faint, sometimes to the point of blacking out.Oh a blood test is a whole different ball game, don’t even get me started on a cannula and when they put the thing round your arm and tap it like they do in filmsdisgusting.
That sounds awful though, I’ve never actually fainted during so that would be scaryleast they get you a bed though!
....maybe they’ll invent a nose one before we’re due it?
I was watching the news last night and they were talking about airports here and how they are as quiet as they were in the 70s. One of the airports said they do not expect to see "normal" passenger business until 2024. I was shocked. We have two main airlines here, Air Canada and Westjet, both have laid off thousands of staff and cancelling many routes. I am not sure how they will survive.
The nurse that did them has retired nowit’s comforting that I’m not the only one but I do feel for you
there's another nice nurse who got me to lie down before she did it, she said she's scared of blood tests too 
me too! This has only happened as an adult, when I was 18, I was in the NHS, learning to take blood and practising on myself (collapsing my own veinsI was fine as a kid with needles. I don’t like blood so when I went for my first blood test at 16/17 I made the fatal error of looking at the blood in the vials and that was it. I’ve fainted ever since. I think it’s a mental block now. When I went for my vaccines for work, I needed a course of them from my dr surgery, the nurse in the end had the fan on pointing at the bed before I even entered the room
As a young woman I’m majorly low on the list
). I also have 2 tattoos!It’s like I hit 25 and developed a phobia, now nurses at blood tests are always like ‘but you have tattoos so you must be fine!’ Nope
(Also tattoos are not really the same anyway)
Its the initial jab with me, not the sight of needles or blood. I dunno why - I have never been actually hurt, (that I remember anyway) but I freeze and feel the tears welling up when the sharp jag goes in my arm. Feel such a baby 
Wow every care home and staff member in Newcastle will have been offered a vaccination by the end of this week 
I don't think it will just be injected vaccinations forever. I think more companies will try and get a tablet form out...I’m honestly more scared of the needle than the vaccine
keep forgetting it has to be injected and being like ‘omg vaccinate me NOW’ when in reality if they come near me with the needle I will probs vomit
amp biosimilars AG appoints Rolf G. Werner as Chairman
amp biosimilars has announced Professor Dr Rolf G. Werner is to head up the Scientific Board as "Chairman of the Scientific Board", effective immediately.
It would be nothing but positives as it would help those worried about needles, be a lot quicker to get through people and save on all the stuff you need like glass, needles etc in the billions.
Well we have had so much snow today (possibly the most exciting thing thats going to happen for months)
I had a lie in this morning, made lunch then went to meet my mum for a snow walk. We had a long catch up and was lovely.
I came back, got a warm and then decided, yes, I am 34, and yes I'm going out to build a snowman! I ended up doing a snowman family (3 of them) and stuck my face in the snow to make faceprints (saw someone do it on Tik Tok) which me n my partner found hilarious
I just thought stuff it, life is for living! If the neighbours see n think I'm crazy, so what
I then had a nice bath and we ordered a takeaway and now I'm absolutely shattered!
Been such a positive day! (I think staying away from the news has helped too)

Yep this is true ! Glad you got the vaccine
I thought it was true!
I haven’t had the covid jab yet, I’m group 4 (immune suppressed) but I had my flu and pneumonia ones again in November and she mentioned it then! When I was struggling to lift my arms and put roll on deodorant on in the few days afterwards I kept reminding myself it was a good thing it hurt!
Edited to add I’m group 6, not group 4, sorry

This happened to me and my next door neighbour last year, both of us felt dizzy and light headed for a day or two afterwards! This year nothing not even a sore arm, we had it on the same day too.I’m usually poorly after the flu jab, last year really poorly. Had it again this year and had nothing, convinced they put something in it so we didn’t have covid symptoms

Anyone else concerned schools are the key factor in this? Cases look like they are slowly decreasing but this happened last year with lockdown 1 and then summer hold before they shot back up massively which led us in to winter. Clearly kids are massively important in community transmission not to mention idiot parent’s who can’t resist school gate gossip (yep still seeing it from the networker drop offs at the school across the road). I know children have got to be educated but as a young childless adult I will be selfishly really gutted if getting them back to school comes at the cost of getting life back to some normality!
Im frontline but in pathology for now so first for us in my hospital was HCAs, docs, nurses, catering etc on the wards. Getting mine next weekI thought it was true!
