A member asked:

Blood tests...: Without knowing much about your history, I can only guess that some lab work-up may be warranted. Tests that can be done by finger stick are limited; an actual venous blood draw (usually from arm) may be needed. Taking steps to ensure you are healthy is more important than fear of a pinch (lasts a second). Anxiety increases perception of pain. Try to relax, take deep breaths, and take care of you.
