    I don't know if this would help you, but there is a numbing cream that you can put on the arm about 30 mins prior to blood draw and they won't feel a thing. Won't know when the needle goes in or comes out. I have drawn a blank on the name of the cream right now because we don't have to use it. My son is completely fine with needles ( fortunately) but my neighbor is an ob/gyn nurse practitioner. She uses this cream when they do circumcisions. She also has written a prescription for several girls in our neighborhood when they got their ears pierced. They said they never felt it. It must be pretty good stuff. I plan to ask her for it before my daughter gets her ears pierced. So anyway, sorry I don't remember the name of it, but maybe you could ask your doctor ahead of time to write you a prescription and put it on 30 mins prior to lab work.
     
    Maybe others will chime in if they have used it.
