Fear Of Needles [How I just got stuck in the veins today]

I got a blood test today, to see if I have any of my Mother's diseases and what not.
Now, the last time I got my blood drawn, it hurt like a b with an itch. No joke, I was probbed 10 times and robbed with many viles of my blood.
So today I walk in with fear, and luckily my nurse wasn't that bad.
She used the butterfly needle which is used on infants to make it less painful, it was less painful. Unfortunatly she had to stick both arms.

My left arm apparently has no blood, because she got the vein but nothing came out.
My right arm had the stuff, and it was over fairly quickly.
I just want to know if anyone has a fear of needles.
I used to take them so well, but after that one experience my courage was shot.
Seriously, the 6 year old me could take them and look at them while they did it without even talking.

I'm gonna have bruises soon.
Hey, good news, I could never be addicted to drugs that involve needles.
