It's not the shot itself, it's the injection/getting stabbed. I think I fainted four or five times in my life due to injections/blood draws. I have to lay down look away and control my breathing otherwise I'm gone. It is a pain in the ass and I get light anxiety from it.

Same. I also realized I can't get acupuncture due to this, I will just faint

I’m curious if there’s a refractory period. (I.e. if you faint and come to after the first needle goes in, then maybe you’re “past it”, and the rest won’t bother you?)

I'm really curious but I don't think I could get myself to try it.

My gut feeling is that there is a refractory period but it would still feel like shit because it takes time until my blood pressure returns to normal.
