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. :-)

Here are the things I know were unusual this time:
1) I was in a Very Bad Mood that morning and all the previous day
2) I had not eaten for over twelve hours
3) On the drive over I visualized having blood drawn, as a tiny attempt at getting my reaction "over with"
4) The doctor did it because the tech wasn't in that day
I'm guessing 1 wouldn't matter, 2 would make it worse, and 3 and 4 probably helped. Next time I will again make sure to picture it in my mind beforehand.
