This is the hardest part because they can never find my veins so they dig for them and it HURTS something awful!

Good luck...I"ll be thinking of you!! Make sure to really hydrate yourself and ask if they have a numbing cream they can use on you prior to using any needles....it can take a little bit of time to numb you...but if it helps calm your fears then it might be worth it!!
Also are you having the blood work at just a dr.s office!?!?! Or are you going to have to have it at a "lab" or hospital!??! If it's at a hospital don't be afraid to ask for a nurse from the ER, or the NICU, they are usually better trained at inserting needles in "hard" patients. Remember it can't hurt to ask!!!!
