Hi Amanda,

IVs are not fun but are nothing to get too worked up about. I have problems giving blood normally (small veins in my inner elbow area), but they have no problems finding a nice fat vein in my hand to stick an IV in. Yeah, it stings a bit for sure, but it's not worth losing sleep over. Believe me, I am a pain wimp, have to have sedation for dental work, etc., so if I can handle an unmedicated IV, I guarantee that you can. Just grit your teeth and don't watch!

Best of luck with all of this....
