I had one this morning at 11.00am (I'm in Oz) and since then, I've been totally wiped out....I do get very squeamish and used to always faint during blood tests but now I'm a bit tougher I know how to concentrate so I just feel a bit ill but tend not to pass out any longer.
However...since I had it done, I've felt "delicate' all day. Had a few light headed moments, am knackered and a pin prick rash has appeared all over my inner forearm. Nurse only used ordinary cotton wadding and a bit of that dressing tape....nowhere near where the rash is.
The nurse was very good at taking blood...she was fast and it hardly hurt...I just wondered if feeling so tired and unwell was normal?
I've had to come to bed and it's only half eight!

To ask if anyone else gets really drained by blood tests?
