Hi,

i've just registered with this site because I really need to know that i'm not alone in what I feel - or to know whether I am crazy!

For years i've always just passed out as soon as any one discusses anyting about blood or anything medical. I feel myself getiting hot and flustered and almost like everything around me is closing in on me. Nowadays if a conversation starts up I tend to just get out of the situation. Its like i'm squemish but on a totally different level to other people who say they are.

Its so bad that I put off going to the doctors when i'm ill and even pulled out of an important knee operation at the last minute. I'm in my late 20's and married and we would love to have a family but I really feel that this could hinder it in a big way plus i'd be scared of harming the baby while it was inside me.

Anyone else out there with similar feelings and squemishness??
