nope lol I was a sickly kid rofl which is funny because being sick so much as a kid i think built up my immunity pretty good because i hardly ever get sick now lol, MAYBE once a year xD.
anyway I was always having blood taken and getting shots, Im sure i was afraid of them at some point but i dont remember it now. Also my moms a lab tech at a blood bank (shes the one that fiddles with the blood ni the back to separate it and make it useful for hospitals) but its meant that as soon as i was old enough iv always donated blood, unless im being anemic or something lol. not to mention piercings and tattoos, yeah it would be silly if i had a fear of those things. :p

To help cope, i dunno for me I always preferred to watch what was going on, but for my son whos not so fond of needles and blood (it makes him physically sick to see a lot of blood) he looks away, or ill hug him or squeeze his other hand a little bit to make him focus on that instead.. of course those are all kid remides lol im not really sure how to help an adult, maybe you could bring a friend or loved one along?

Well, I'm not afraid of needles so I don't have advice in that sense, what I can say is that it's a tiny little pinch and it's over before you know it. If you're scared of needles it's probably best if you try to look away and think about things that make you happy, or perhaps focus on a poster or picture in the doctors office.

Personally I prefer getting blood drawn as opposed to getting a shot, but that's just me

I remember when MLP first came out (Yes, I'm old) and my sisters went crazy for it. I played with their toys and watched the cartoon and movie with them but as a little boy in the 80s it wasn't really acceptable for me to say I liked it in my house. As we grew older my sisters moved on from MLP but I still enjoyed it and remember watching My Little Pony Tales in secret so as not to get tormented or beaten (yeah, had that kind of "dad"). After that, I moved onto other things and never really thought about MLP again until my wife started collecting Friendship is Magic toys and it rekindled my old love for it. Since then I have discovered Gen 3 and enjoy buying well loved ponies and restoring them for our collection. My son loves MLP very much and I encourage him to enjoy it without fear of ridicule. People ask me why I allow it or if he's a "sissy" and have had people warn me that it will "turn him gay" but I don't care. I want him to be who he is, enjoy what he wants and never worry about what people think about his passions.

Redwildflower only collects bbe ponies.  She has painted them on her walls and has a Baby Frosting costume she plans on wearing to her best friend's wedding.

I would totally do this!
