[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 2146581, member: 44643"] Hi [USER=514907]@Tinkleberry[/USER] I have been injecting for 3 decades. When I was diagnosed my mum was concerned because I hated blood, well, anything medical as it made me feel ill and my stomach turned ( my sister would be the first one on the scene of an accident and get involved, not squeamish and nursing runs through my family) but in the hospital I had to inject in front of a Dr and a nurse. So in my case, alone with 2 children, I just got on with it, a bit of mind over matter. Hopefully it is just a blip, you could try and find some coping mechanism's that will help, even counting to ten and taking relaxing deep breaths, could help, humming a tune, also yoga is very calming and relaxing too. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
