  • I think its worth pointing out that needing a vaccine is different than getting and benefiting from a vaccine.

    Seasonal Flu and Covid vaccines are still beneficial, so while you don’t need any, if there is a way to beat the phobia, you can still benefit.

    It’s not likely that anyone is going to offer you something like Xanax or Ativan for a yearly flu shot, but maybe your Dr would knowing your circumstances, and that could be a slow process to maybe beating it by getting some successful years behind you using that method?


  • I’ve had some really bad experiences in the past as well including passing out and nausea. Luckily at least for smaller needles like vaccines/dental work I no longer suffer from that. I still lay down if blood is being drawn.

    It took a long time, but I think the dentist giving me some sedatives for the needles helped me get more comfortable with it since I knew they helped, and eventually, I was able to try without and it was hard but it did help, and it just got easier from there.

    It still sucks, but it’s manageable now.

    If you struggle at the dentist like I did, maybe that’s an option if you need work done and a path forward.

    It’s a shame that’s not an option typically offered for other needles. I bet it could help people get vaccines if it was offered.








  • What a loaded headline

    In return, SpaceX would give the government around 692 acres of property it has purchased elsewhere in Cameron County, according to the documents. Some of these tracts would be added to the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, about 20 miles up the coast.

    I’m not saying this is a good trade, but the quantity and that some will be added to another refuge was well down the page.

    It’s a trade, not giving. (Even if really bad)

    Better headline: Trump may trade 775 acres of wildlife refuge for 692 acres of less sensitive land in unfair trade. (Or in damaging trade)
