I beg to differ with everyone who says that the fear of needles goes away over time. I am DEATHLY afraid of needles. Over the past year or so, I have been hospitalized roughly eight times for complications with my kidney, which was eventually removed this past summer. I have been poked and prodded more times than probably anyone else on this site, and let me tell you, the fear gets worse EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Heh, one time I had a severe kidney infection, and I was seriously in the worst pain I've ever been in, in my life. So we go to the hospital and they wanted to give me a pain shot. Even thought I knew I would feel a million times better afterwards, I wouldn't let them give it to me. They had to get three nurses to hold me down so they could administer it. To get my mind off the shot, I started singing "Roxanne" by the Police at the top of my lungs. I was in the far back room, and you could hear me throughout the ENTIRE office. No one had any idea what was going on...a couple of the doctors even came in to see what was going on. I even freaked out a bunch of old people sitting in the waiting room. It was great. It's become one of the most-told stories in the urology department.
