It's an irrational fear
Particularly irrational as I'm fine with injections. It's something about the thought of having a needle sitting in one of my blood vessels extracting stuff that puts me on edge. I think I've got better in recent years, but then it's quite a while since anyone tried to extract blood from me.

I have a problem with needles, too.
The worst was when I had my wisdom teeth out. Fucking great big vetinary syringe in the gum. Still hurt. Second injection. Still hurt. By this point I was gripping the chair handles so tightly my knuckles had gone white.

"Are you ok?" asks the dentist
"Not really, I have a problem with needles"
"Oh, you should have said something!"
"Would it have stopped you sticking needles into my gums?"
"No"
"Didn't think so."

So I have a fear of needles and an apparent resistance to painkillers. Which is nice.

Yeah well I once had 20.
In my fucking eyes. No anaesthetic. Didn't even hurt.

Eyeballs have no pain receptors so this is entirely possible

can this be true?
when i used to wear contact lenses, i once put them in without having washed off the cleaning solution. i was screaming in agony, and it took about 20 mins to peel my lids open enough to get them out. the whites of my eyes looked like chopped liver for hours.

Could it be the eyelids that hurt?

I believe so, also your brain doesn't have pain receptors

Brain - true
Eyes - you can test this for yourself right now with a pencil.
Early results here suggest that it smarts a little.

For credibility this should be a double-blind study.

I hate having needles in my gum so much I now ask if they're necessary
I had a filling drilled without anaesthetic, turns out the tooth underneath had rotted, due to the filling being badly fitted. That was rather painful when the drill touched it.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 10:49, Reply)

a) that wasn't a drill and
b) I lied when i said I was a dentist

In that case, your cock is even smaller than Lusty said.
Also, it shouldn't vibrate and shake like that, you should see a doctor.

i hate dentists needles so much
once had a bunch of teeth removed (think inbred-looking double row shark boy grille) and on one tooth, the cack-handed besom stuck the needle right through my gum into my tongue. at which point i would have gone 'ITTFFF IIMM MMMYY UNGGG!' if i hadn't had a FUCKING NEEDLE IN MY TONGUE.
bloody thing was lolling about in my gob like a sea cucumber. best.deacon.EVAH./

That sounds horrific.
This is not going to help my dislike of needles.
(LongJohnBaldry, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 11:30, Reply)

it didn't help my fear of dentists
so imagine my joy when i find out my girl has two brothers who are dentists.
imagine my secondary joy when she chips a tooth on a whisk falling out of a kitchen cupboard, we rush to see her dentist bro to fix it (hello, i'm your sister's new boyfriend, yes, she has a broken front tooth and split lip.. broke her tooth on a whisk.. so..d'ya like me?) and after fixing hers, she went 'oh and can you have a look at UDP's as well? hop in the chair..
double whammy of not wanting to look like a pussy, and shame at having not been to see a butcher, sorry, torturer, sorry, i mean dentist in ten years plus.. thank god my fear of the white masked monsters has led to almost obsessive levels of dental hygeine.. not so much as a filling. still shat frisbees though.

Reminds me, I've not been to see a dentist in years myself
I think there's someone over on /talk who might appreciate those frisbees, mind...

I'm actually registered on my notes as needlephobic, I'm proper bad with them, even though I have to have them at _least_ once a month.
I'm now alright with normal injections as long as I don't have to see them, but I need EMLA cream for anything that goes in a vain. It's nothing to do with the pain, with me, it's the thought.
