Episode 14 - Overcoming a fear of needles, shots, injections and IV's!
Manage episode 379574865 series 3494106
Welcome to episode 14! Today's episode focuses on overcoming a fear of needles, shots, injections, and IV's. For children and adults this is a real fear and sometimes phobia. With IBD or any chronic illness the reality is that injections and IV's can become a way of life and it sometimes a challenge to overcome fears. After 3 years, Mason has changed from a high fear, anxious and very upset patient into a relaxed and calm patient with no anxiety over infusions and injections. We have taken the tips and methods that have helped us and included them in this episode. This is helpful for anyone with these fears! We hope this episode will help you if you are an adult or child suffering from Crohn's disease or any chronic illness, know somebody who is, or are just interested in learning more about aspects of chronic illness. We are family friendly and want kids to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.
