The ShotBlocker

I'm a trypanophobic, meaning I am afraid of needles. My phobia has caused me to put off or completely avoid injections out of fear. However, recently I found something that helps immensely, the ShotBlocker, by Bionix.

From Bionix's website,

'Bionix ShotBlocker® is an innovative device that instantly alleviates the pain and anxiety of needle injections. ShotBlocker® works through a novel application of the gate control theory of pain management. It is a plastic, C-shaped device with small bumps on its back. When pressed firmly against the skin at the injection site, ShotBlocker® saturates the sensory nerves and distracts the patient from pain signals caused by the needle poke. The device is both simple and easy to use, bringing comfort to users of all ages.'

The bumps aren't sharp. Here's a picture of my hand after I pressed the ShotBlocker to it:

Here's a picture of the instructions that come with it:

My doctor had no problems administering the shot, and I felt no pain. I don't mean that as in 'just a small sting', I mean that the needle felt just like one of the plastic nubs. Absolutely no pain at all. I was stunned.

Of course, it doesn't get rid of the anxiety/dizziness/nausea that I get during injections. But with time, I think I'll be able to train myself out of that.

You can buy them on Bionix's website for 5.99 USD, I think I got mine from Amazon for a few cents less. They're reusable and relatively inexpensive. I'd recommend them to anyone.

#not an ad i promise #trypanophobia #needle phobia #shotblocker #i can finally give blood!!! guys im fucking psyched #long post #edit from uhh a time later:#this still works for me!! but i no longer need it #my phobia has been beaten back with a transgender and possibly chronically ill stick #BUT i can still answer any questions if yall have em #as far as i know it works for vaccines and other quick pokes #tattoos probably not #bloodwork is... ehh?? works for the first poke but since the needle stays in it doesnt do much #i havent tried it for self injections but hypothetically it should work
