        I have those veins that makes the nurse go all happy asking if the trainee can have a go (they are big and juicy).

        So yeah I have had some fat blues 😋

        Inconvenient? Sure, it even hurts sometimes, but I wouldn’t say scary.

      I think mine is animalistic fear of damaging yourself. I’m fine, I sit down and act nonchalant. I’ll talk and look at the person or them doing it. But, under that is my skin getting clammy and breaking out in a light sweat…

        Totally normal reaction, I mean it isn’t normal to let someone else put metal inside your own body, I get that little sweat too sometimes when the needle goes in. But I wouldn’t say scary.
