How often do you get bloods taken?
I get my bloods taken every 2-3 months. I hate blood test but I find as time goes on I am getting more used to them.
How do you find blood tests?
Hey
I think my bloods are taken around every 2-3 months as well. If I am honest I find it hard to keep up and usually just wait for the angry reminder text from my doctor telling me they are expecting some bloods from me before I pop down the clinic!
I don't usually have any problems getting my blood taken, I think it has become a bit like second nature to me at this point. Although last time I went to get mine, the nurse saw a spider in the room and jumped up pulling the needle out as she leaped. That's pretty much the only blood test issue I've experienced.
How do you find them?
All the best,

! I can't believe that happened with the nurse lol. I would imagine that that hurt a lot?
The first thing I do after a blood test is book in for my next one and I set a reminder on my phone to help me remember.
All through my life, when ever I had to get a blood test I would faint. Then from getting them every 2-3 months I started getting used to them and stopped fainting thank god.
But I got bloods taken this week and she couldn't find a vein and had to take it from the side of my arm. Of couse I fainted and I am dreading my next blood test already.
