Default fainting......how embarrasing!

felt like a right wuss this morning.

due to my current funny turns im having i had to have some blood tests.ive had them before and sometimes im ok,but can break out in a bit of a sweat as it takes a while as i dont have prominent veins.

well today,i went at 9am,felt fine.sat in chair-usual stuff,look away,dont think about it................
couldnt get vein on left arm,couldnt get vein on right arm,try left again-needle in....missed,try right again-needle in.....missed..........then i just felt my self sweating loads and feeling funny...getting worse and worse and couldnt control it. the poor woman was on her own trying to stop me falling over(im hardly small!!) until a nurse walked in where they helped me onto a bed,got my legs up in the air and aimed a huge fan at me......took a good 10 mins or so before i began to feel better.
they then tried again to get blood but couldnt get a vein again so they gave up,wouldnt let me up for another 10 mins.....

i was so embarrased and have to go back again on friday!!! its a fasting blood test so i cant eat from midnight,but i can drink water-i didnt drink any water this morning so hoping a couple of litres of water may make the difference.

please tell me there is another bloke on here same as me???? the fact that the woman before me had also feinted doesnt make me feel better!
