Just checked my blog and discovered it is over a year since I posted on my blog!! And so much has happened.<br /><br />Just wanted to put my few penny worth of thoughts in for Tall Girl.<br /><br />My daughter has a total and utter phobic fear of needles too. She is now 32........but a few years ago suffered what is quaintly known as a Quinsey. Or more modernly known as an infection of the tonsils.<br /><br />Many many bouts of tonsilitus....and finally she was admitted to hospital with infected tonsils, so bad she could hardly breathe.<br /><br />It got worse, for the needle phobic daughter, they had, at one point to inject the Quinsey (or swollen tonsils which were causing her breathing probs) through her mouth.........<br /><br />I made my excuses and left. She has still not conquered her fear of needles. Stangely.<br /><br />I guess someone advancing towards you with a syringe through your mouth does not help in any phobic situation!<br /><br />Hope Tall Girl is ok now.<br /><br />and one day I may blog again, but don't hold your breath LOL!<br /><br />J xx aka Letty xxLetty - A Little Girl With A Curlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836262006258873208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-81088212641989313792011-07-31T22:53:56.118+01:002011-07-31T22:53:56.118+01:00I can TOTALLY relate!

It was only with the help of a sedative that we got it done on the second attempt, so I really do know where you're coming from. Well done to you all on getting it done though - fingers crossed. (By the way, if they say her iron is low - as is common with teenage girls - drinking nettle tea puts it right back up again!) :) xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-26922447678271316072011-07-30T22:14:25.828+01:002011-07-30T22:14:25.828+01:00Well done, Tall Girl!

I certainly can't watch when anyone hast to inject me and I think taking stuff out is far worse than injecting things in. All I can say is that she needs to find some sort of distracting technique to help her cope.

I remember once he had to have a blood test and then go into the chemist to pick up a prescription, he had to ask a little old lady to vacate the only chair in the chemist so he could sit down as he thought he was going to pass out!
