In the future, you absolutely need to proactively address your intense "needle phobia". This can be deconditioned and stabilized but will take effort and commitment on your part. Approaches recommended include cognitive-behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and meditation. Would eschew sedatives and tranquilizers. Discuss your issues with your doctor.
