i remember i had to get this done every tuesday for about 6 weeks. IT HURTS. even after 6 times i was still scared of it.

@jkgirly102, not sure what you had done, but repeated testing is far from the norm. It is a one time test, possibly repeated 3-5 years after therapy is completed.

@fredishere24 that's because they're not needles, they're plastic.

[GotYourFront]

I had it done, the pricks didn't hurt but the needles in the upper arm did
