I've always had the same reaction to the sight of blood too, so you can imagine blood tests are particularly fun! It wasn't until my 30s (when we started seeing an FS) that I could get through a b/t without puking after. And that was when I lay down to get it done! I managed okay for a couple of years at the clinic and then they got rid of the beds so I had to sit up! I just about had a panic attack the first time! I've come a long way though. I can sit up just fine now (isn't necessity amazing?) and only have a problem if they take a lot of vials.
