Just want to complain. I hate them soooo much and I'm dreading tomorrow when I have to have my travel injections (I finally got my courage up)!
:mad: Yuck.

And stay focused on why you want to have them like where you are going.
The more exciting and exotic the destination, the more jabs it seems!
Just dont look at it and try and keep breathing at your normal rate.
Just relax and look away, always have the nurse talk to you when they inject to help distract you -
Anyhoo it was fine. I had to have one in each arm though and it hurts!
Least you didn't get two injections on the same arm - poor wee arm was in agony
there never as bad as you think they will be though!
although considering i had a 6 inch needle poked through my tongue without anaesthetic, it would be silly of my to be scared of injections.
my tip is not to watch. turn your head so you can't even see the nurse in your peripheral vision. read something on the wall, or look out of the window or something.
