Got a letter from the docs about it, didn't go. Just the Goverment trying to create mass panic.

No point getting it at all Conor. Unless you have some sort of immune disease,you'll be fine if you get it. It's just bad flu.

Safe against what? The flu? Injections hurt!

I got it. Why not, wouldn't you like to be as immune against any disease as possible? I didn't hurt what do ever, all of my friend's got it and were completely fine. The only side effect is that your arm feels a bit weird for awhile afterwards but it wears off quickly!

You have to view it from others perspective though. Most would rather the sniffles than have a metal rod pierced into their skin.

I guess, I do have very little tolerance for those with needle phobias. But even if you're a little afraid, in reality, it is less than a pinch for 3 seconds, whilst you're distracted, in exhange for immunity from flu. Swine flu isn't the sniffles, even in the average case it's a bad cold, not just the sniffles.

I have extreme needle phobia. Even if I block my eyes when a syringe scene is on telly I have to cover my arms and start rubbing them, especially the parts that bend on the flip side of your elbows where I got a bloodtest after about five Xanax a few years ago.

In fact, even after typing that I can feel a cold sweat coming on. Screw your low tolerance! :tongue:

Still though, it seems so useless even in principal. So you might catch a bad cold. Man up! You don't need government medicine!

I see your point, I do have a low tolerance but in cases like yours where the person is genuinely petrified I don't have any problems. I just find that generally people who say they're afraid are just attention-seeking, but obviously there are exceptions and you can always tell when someone is genuine.

I like how you're terrified of a little needle going into you for a second but are telling me to man up to having a cold :tongue:

I wouldn't mind a subcut,IM's are sore! I don't see the point of injections if I'm not gonna die not having it.

try having them going into your gums once a week for three weeks in a row all for a few fillings.

Apart from the fags and coffee, I have a diet that's built to be extremely kind to my teeth believe it or not just so I don't have to go through anything like that. That's commitment, baby.
