Yes...I've heard that psychotherapy can help, but it's not covered under my health plan and doesn't have a big enough impact on my life to warrant spending money. It's unpleasant and inconvenient...I guess I'm just looking for home remedies.
I've passed out dozens of times, and it's not only needles that trigger it. The strangest time was when I was in my early teens...the first time I used a tampon...came to on the floor, sweaty and shivering. I think it's the thought of anything invasive that can trigger it for me. Thankfully sex never has...then I would definitely be in therapy!
