Hi again folk

As some of you know 8 weeks ago I received my Meningococcal B vaccine(1 of 3) and let me tell ya I'm not a big fan of needles. Last time I cried I screamed I made a big performance. It was pathetic but seriousey they freak me out so much! So much that when they told us we were getting them on Monday that I burst into tears in class.

So do you think all you lovely people could send me a few brave girl vibes so that I can fly through this!


I probably wont be on TCS much for the next week. I could hardly move my left arm much last time for eight days.

Thanks everybody.

Oh i love needles, infact i want to become a nurse ONLY TO GIVE NEEDLES!
Ben is so scared of them, he was almost about to cry. Its the only thing that scares him haha...

But sam If you let me give you a needle i promise i will be super nice that you wont even feel it!

*sends you some extra Brave vibes* Just think its funny and it will pass

I always watch my needles, and when i do i dont get sore after it, but when i look away they really hurt later

Reading this made me a little light heated.


It's funny I used to love needles too - that was before I become skinny!

You can give me the needle Fran because I have so many funny memories from TCS about you that I will probably just laugh my way through it.

Thanks for your vibes. I'll be feelin' em sittin' in that chair.. Eeek.

There are some definte Brave Girl Vibes coming your way.
I totally understand what you're going through! I am terrified of needles too
When we got our in school I always cried. I'm sure this time with all the good vibes coming your way that you breeze right through it.

Ohh Sam
sending you ultra-mega brave girl vibes!!!
If it makes you feel better about getting only one shot, think about the diabetics that have to stick themselves numerous times a day....or, even better, think about my boyfriend who literally has a needle stuck in his stomach 24/7 delivering him insuline!
Trust me when I say that it could be much, much worse!

If you don't look, you won't even know it's happening. It will be over before you know it. Honestly, it's the looking that is freaking you out. So, just don't look.

It is never nice, but it usually worse thinking about it than it actually is. So try not to, and we'll do the thinking for you! Good luck

Oh Sam, you poor girl! Getting a shot is never fun. I'll be sending you tons of "brave girl vibes"!!! Here's a tip for you: it hurts a lot less if you TOTALLY relax the muscles in the area where you're getting the shot. Take deep breaths before and during the shots---it helps to keep you calm and it forces you to focus on "breathing" and takes a little attention away from getting the shot

Hey there, thank you for the vibes. I did really well. I didn't cry!


I'm so proud. Thanks again.

Aw, I feel the same way, Sam. There is nothing worse then getting a shot.
I'm wishing you tons of brave girl vibes.

(((((VIBES)))))

I hope you feel better soon.


Edit// Looks like I'm too late. *blushes* I'm sorry, Sam...

Anyways, I'm really proud of you for being so brave, and doing so well.

Oh Sam..so sorry for you upcoming ordeal. Take a deep breath when they give you the shot. My guess is that you hold your breath usually, without realizing it. Holding you breath only makes your whole body tense, and the shot hurts more. I wish I could give you the shot, my patients and my coworkers (when I give the flu shot) always tell me I give the best shots. Good luck!
