This was my worst experience doing this. I've given blood from my left arm and in the same spot at least 15 times. The technician kept slapping the spot where the vein was supposed to be. My vein just had a mind of its own today. She finally "found" it. Kind of. (All I know is that no needle is supposed to be inserted at that angle!) What's important is not the potential for discomfort but the opportunity to help.
If I can do it, you can do it. There is no one more squeamish than I am when it comes to blood. Go right now and make your appointment for a donation. If you wait, you'll chicken out.
