You asked for horror stories.....
Yes You'll be fine...I only fainted the first time I had it done. The next 2 times, I only got the cold sweats.
I only have done it twice, didn't pass out, but did get the cold sweats.
Be sure your bladder is empty first.
Honestly most of it is not that bad. Depending on what all is being tested, most of the sites tested don't really hurt that much. There are a couple though that will curl your toes. They seem to save those for the end. While yes it sucks, if needed I would not hesitate to have it done again.
I had it done on 3 occasions for a blown out disc and broken pelvic. It didn't bother me a bit. What's the big deal about it?

Hillary in the sack doesn't scare me. I used to drink heavily and have some scary arse memories.Imagine your worst fear - Heights, spiders, snakes, Hillary in the sack - whatever - Pick your poison.
Needles are mine.
I'd let a tarantula crawl across my balls before I got a shot.

The involuntary muscle actions are weird/different and uncomfortable afterwards but I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
I didn't get off on shooting dye in my spinal fluids at all. That was a nasty headache plus.
Don't forget that a good deal of the test does not include any needles at all. Each test is different as the doctor discovers what all needs to be tested. You may not have to endure many. You are right, it really isn't that painful, just a weird sensation and your mind takes it further. Just go to your happy place. Maybe they will let you search INGO during the test!
LOL!!
Glad I never picked up the "stranger in bed" habit!
I'm probably making a much bigger deal out of it than it actually is. I'm just really that freaked out by needles. Last cortisone injection I had I told the doctor "I'm freaked by needles". After the profuse sweating and damn near passing out, the Sports Medicine guy said, "Man, you really are freaked out by shots!".
I'm not worried by the shocks or involuntary muscle spasms, just the needle insertion and locations. I'm sure I'll live.
It's not like those needles are spears or anything wicked. Very small and penetrate with little if any feel about it. I hate needles too. I break out in a sweat thinking about blood tests. I get my sugar checked at the VA all the time and hate that littls SNAP PRICK thingy they use. I'm definitely not a fan of getting anything inserted into me at all but it's really not as big a deal as you're worrying yourself into believing. Heck, it's nothing compared to a 12 ga single shot with magnum slugs. LOL!
