I would also of feared any needles near me. \u00a0I over came that when I had a blood test early last year and also when the paramedic did a blood sugar test on me. \u00a0I have had to take a good dose of codeine a few times to handle the pain but that\u2019s ok and mostly it\u2019s not much of an issue. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll never be \u2018cured\u2019 but that\u2019s ok too.
