Getting 12 year old shots tomorrow!?
Question:
Answers:
Dude, take a deep breath and let it out slowly. The shots won't hurt that bad. It's the idea. Sure, they may sting a little, but no major pain. I just got my chicken pox shot two week ago, HepB and DTaP boosters a month ago and I'm going in to getting my second chicken pox in another two weeks. I didn't even flintch. Now, it your thinking I must be one of those really brave kids who fear nothing, your wrong. I'm the girl who panics if she has a nosebleed or scrapes her knee. Shots use to scare me alot, but now they don't. Just close your eyes and don't make your arm tense. Otherwise, the needle won't go in and they'll have to poke you again. Once your shots are over, though, stay seated for a few minutes. Even if you didn't hypervenalate, you may still feel a little dizzy afterwards. That applies for blood work, too. After my blood work, we were in a hurry and I got up too quickly. I didn't faint, but I did feel dizzy. Wow, I've told you alot about my experiances. Just remember this:
Before: Stay calm. Remind yourself it won't hurt that bad and it will be over quickly.
During: Stay relaxed. Don't watch.
After: Sit for a little while, even if it's just a minute or two. Take a deep breath and relax. It's over.
just breathe deeply when they tell you they are going to inject them. do you have any younger siblings? the shots do not hurt any worse than someone pinching you
yes they will hurt but not searing pain. i mean pinch your self hold it for like 10 secs. that will be one of the shots.
Tell the nurse you are nervous, look away, keep your arm relaxed and take nice slow deep breathes.
You'll be fine
