Blood Tests

Anybody else have a lot of anxiety when waiting for blood test results? I've had a couple of bad ones. In the past that resulted in not so fun medication switches.

I used to get really anxious about labs of any kind... I don't anymore. Not sure why - maybe just used to it.
It's not uncommon. You aren't crazy. :)
