[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1898338, member: 345386"] Starshine, thankfully, I have only experienced anticoagulants once in my lifetime (this far!), post hysterectomy op, and as a low risk patient, I only had those injections during my 3 days in hospital. I do however remember the ginagerous bruises the injections used to precipitate, even when executed impeccably (by staff). The lancet finger pricking is a big nothing, once you get used to it. In a former professional life I gave thousands of injections a year, but I found it a bit different, voluntarily "stabbing" myself. I used to sit down to do it and count myself down from 5, to hit the trigger at zero,............... usually! It's a bonkers, irrational reaction, but so incredibly common. Once you find your own way of approaching it, and find which parts of your fingers yield well and don't hurt, it's a breeze. [/QUOTE]
