I'm about to go get my blood drawn, so they can do some tests on it.

Does it hurt? Badly?

I'm very nervous.

I don't think it hurts anymore than any other injection.

I've never had it done myself though.

I felt the same way when I got my blood drawn.

Honestly, it just feels like someone is pinching your vein really quickly, and then it's over. You might want to get something to eat afterwards, though, you'll feel a little dizzy and weak for about 15 minutes.

Unless you hate needles, I don't think it'll be too bad.

It's a little sting, but it lasts for about one second and it's really not that bad, I promise :P

Its fine. There's a pinch when the needle goes in.

It shouldn't hurt much at all. Most places use a butterfly clip.

it doesnt hurt imo...just feels numb


-- Posted by bstodge at 1:04 pm on Nov. 17, 2008

no, not really, depends on how big of a needle+tube thingy they use.

Doesnt hurt at all. I donated blood, but I know they threw it out because of 'certain' things in it

-- Posted by bornonmars75 at 1:09 pm on Nov. 17, 2008

it isnt that bad
pinches a little
the more you scared you are the worse it will be
just be chill about it


-- Posted by Sexisocerplaya04 at 1:10 pm on Nov. 17, 2008

ive had some of the best where i didnt even know it was happening and ive had some of the worst where i thought i was going to die

Last time they took my blood, I didn't even feel it. I actually said 'So, when are you going to start, just to turn around and see that it is done, lol. But then, nurse accidentally dropped the vial with the blood...

I had it done when I was about five. To be honest I can't remember, but if it hurt I probably would have remembered..? =/
