And on a positive note

I got blood drawn today and I only got the FAINTEST of signs of being woozy, sweaty, dizzy, etc. Woohoo! I am counting that as a major success. (Not that I have the slightest clue what I did.)

If this trend continues, some day I'll be able to have blood drawn when I'm sitting up. :-)

Exactly. And shock is very like what happens (if not exactly what happens); my blood pressure goes extremely low, I get clammy, my lips are white, the whole nine yards.

I have idly wondered if a hypnotist could fix it.

My darling rivka, who is a Pshrink, tells me that the condition can sometimes be helped by conditioning exercises. I'm not sure how much hyptnotism would be involved in that.

Interesting. Some day this will probably move high enough on my priority list that I'll try to DO something about it...
