I am pretty okay with needles overall...

But I'm a big baby when it comes to blood draws. >n<
My medication has a black box warning, which means that it can be very toxic, so when I first started taking it, I had to get my blood drawn once a week for 6 months...

The first month I started it, I was in the hospital and if I remember correctly, they technically drew my blood once every two days.. and sometimes the lab technician would use a "baby needle" or "butterfly"(?) needle because she knew I get really faint at the sight of blood and also at the idea of my blood being sucked out.

And after those six months of weekly blood draws, I had to go *another* six months of blood draws every two weeks...

That being said! You'd think I'd have gotten used to getting my blood drawn and you'd think I'd be able to handle it much better than I do because I've gone through a year of blood draws multiple times a month. Now I only get my blood drawn once a month and I think that will continue for as long as I am taking this medication.

It's so weird! When I got my nose pierced, I didn't faint or even get dizzy!
