A member asked:
I am terrified of blood tests- bonafide phobia, but have been having night sweats. are there any other ways to test hormone levels without blood work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Address the phobia: You're an adult. If you give in to a phobia or ask for special consideration because of a fear you realize to be unrealistic, you enslave yourself deeper. Treating phobias is relatively straightforward if you have a good guide. Get a referral from your physician and you will not only be able to do what other adults do, but discover inner resources you probably did not know you had.
