Shiny new layout!

See title

I just got back from the doctor's office after getting 2 flu shots and the chicken pox shot (since apparently I've never had it or something).

I don't usually mind them too much, I just try not to think about the fact that there's a needle in me.

What I have trouble with are those pills you swallow whole that float. The water-rinsing trick doesn't seem to work.

Ouch. I hope the side effects don't get too bad for you.

Shots have never bothered me. I just have to make sure that I don't see the needle. In fact, shots are a godsend since usually that is the only way that I can take medicine.

I have an overly sensitive gag reflex or something, not sure what, but it's practically impossible for me to swallow a pill whole. This gets really inconvenient when really my only choice is to take a pill. I can take liquid medicine, but its NASTY and a lot of meds don't come in a liquid form. My only hope with pills is to finely crush them and take them with either ice cream or dissolved in an airbourne mixture to cover up the taste, all while chasing it down with water. Its quite a chore.

Ugh, please don't remind me of shots. I haven't had them in years, I'm afraid I'm due for them soon

I had to get thirteen cavities filled within one month a few years ago. The amount of shots I had to get in my mouth within that time made me rather tolerant of them.

I never had any problems getting shots, especially since I knew how to ignore them...

Still, I'm due for a tetanus booster in another year or so

I hate getting shots, I could probably trip and scrape my knee and then get up and walk away without really caring about it but the fact that I know the shot is coming and that there's nothing I can do about it makes me freak out .

Luckily it's been a while since my parents have forced me to get a shot. I don't think that they ever really helped me out anyways, ever since I stopped getting the flu shot I haven't really been that sick (sometimes I get a minor cough but that's way better than what I used to go through ).

Ew. I hate shots. I have to cover my eyes and turn my head away whenever I have to get them since I hate the thought of a thin, sharp, metallic tube puncturing into my bloodstream and inject some foreign liquid usually containing dead viruses or bacteria.

I suppose I'm getting a "shot" on friday. IV sedation for dental surgery. This'll be fun

I get a shot every month. Even before that, shots have never really bothered me. I started to give blood as soon as I could.

I've also been through two sets of allergy tests and that was a lot of needles that they stuck in me.

I don't absolutely love shots. But I don't hate them either.

I'm used to donating blood and getting shots for whatever. I mean sure it hurts, but I am not gonna complain about it for days on end. Hell, I had to get five shots in my mouth for one tooth removal not even a half a year ago. And that sucked

Shots are not that bad. Man up, Julers.

Paulguy's Post configuration
Never found shots or taking medication a big deal and it's not like I'm used to them, since I don't really get shots all that often at all... I used to take various medications when I was young, though, because I was thought to have ADHD (Nowadays, my psychiatrist just has absolutely no idea... I'll be switching to a different one. :|).

I remember when I shattered my entire right hand (Don't ask) I had to get at least 14 shots in my arm, as well as two shots penetrating the bone so they can put screws in there.

TWO flu shots?!?

I'm going to guess seasonal flu vaccine + H1N1 vaccine, but still. That + chicken pox shot = OW OW OW.

Your arm's gonna be sore for the next few days.
