I don’t know which subreddit this would belong in, so my apologies. 

I’ve never had a blood test, they are terrifying to me. I had an appointment with my gyno two days ago and he unexpectedly announced that I am going to get a blood test “right now”. 

I had a panic attack, started hyperventilating and bawling my eyes out. I then threw a huge scene, and ended the appointment by throwing up on myself and onto the floor (twice). 

It’s not the needle I’m scared of, it’s just the particular area. That crevice where your elbow bends. Absolutely terrifies me. 

Can you get a blood test using any accessible vein? I have a huge juicy titty vein that I would much rather them take blood from if it’s a possibility.
