This morning my grandma woke me up by flashing a flashlight in my face at 6:50,hurried me to get dressed then was surprised I was quick about it,we went to the blood place,met our family friend who is a nurse/doctor/idk ,I was sat in this huge chair that could recline,then she stabbed my arm with a needle,took two vials of blood,I almost threw up,my vision started going white,my ears started ringing an apparently turned pale (I already am),so I was fed a little cake,a small cup of water and reclined with a cold rag on my head.then we went shopping for groceries.
Overall a good day.
How do you guys feel about needles/having blood drawn?
Stay healthy peachy babies! (• w •)

When I had to get blood work for my brain diagnosis, they took like four vials and I felt SO out of it 😭 I actually passed out. My mom made me carne guisada with rice and iced tea afterward. Just communicate with your doctor, eat beforehand, stay hydrated, and ask before taking any vitamins. A lot of people get dizzy or lightheaded after giving blood, even if they’re healthy.
I was told i couldn't eat beforehand cuz it messes with stuff in the blood they're checking for

I don’t understand how eating would affect your blood, unless they mean something like plasma donation. Maybe certain foods like sugar or a poppy seed bagel could have an impact. In fact, not eating might affect your blood flow more than eating something. I believe what they intended to say was to avoid high-fat or high-sugar foods. Instead, lean meats, beans, and spinach would be better choices. However, if your doctor is advising you otherwise, I would recommend either asking them for clarification or considering a second opinion.

i completely relate to the sickness because im anemic so i always go really dizzy when ANYTHING that messes with my blood pressure happens (fear, sickness, deadass anything) and that includes getting my blood taken because it makes me uncomfortable
also why did you get your blood taken..? two whole vials? is that not a big amount of blood to loose in one sitting or am i thinking of the wrong type of vial. is it for a bloodtest or do you just hang out with vampires
Vampires would be awesome but it's cuz they want to test stuff,the vials weren't that big,maybe 5cm tall.
