#trypanophobia
#trypanophobia can suck it.
Had a #blood draw today and I spent the whole time shivering and #crying.

I often wonder if many anti-vax supporters would reconsider if vaccines were administered orally, nasally or anything that doesn't involve a needle.
Time for my 2nd #Covid19 jab, hoping its like last time - https://cubicgarden.com/2021/05/13/my-trypanophobia-and-my-first-covid19-vaccine/

Glad have missed the #manchester rain and finally having my first vaccine shot. They were so great and understanding for someone with #Trypanophobia #needlephobia.
Highly recommend telling them at the first desk, Lidocaine gel and any coping mechanism you have.
