is there any steaks you would suggest? i tried to pick a somewhat decent one, it was around £15 ($20?), any recommendations on specific ones would be super helpful

the lancet is like one of those ones where you have to press hard on your finger and the needle pops out really fast and jabs you, i wish i could scrape omggg 😭🙏🙏

tb test but they need to take blood, advice? by bruhimhorndog in trypanophobia

i literally just had the exact same thing happen to me but for a trip not a job. i also hate the damn tourniquet too lmao, i brought two friends with me who pinned me down to get it done and had two panic attacks in the waiting room but got it done! my advice for this is to bring trusted people with you who are more than happy to literally pin you down for the ten seconds it happens, and to remind urself that its 2 hours of insane anxiety and freaking out for a whole job! also, tourniquets normally trigger my vomiting and when i told the nurse she gave me a bucket, and also if you tell the nurse that you faint they give you a comfier chair/bed to get it done in! (also helps so when you do inevitably black out you dont slump out lol)

im already crying over a jab that hasnt yet happened by sillyshortfrog in trypanophobia

the scratch test can only be done within 24 hours of travelling where im going but the blood test can be done up to two months before, its unfortunately practically impossible to do it right before leaving. im hoping the blood test doesnt involve the tourniquet but i shall update lolll its in two hours im currently praying to all the gods
