Do you have to get your blood tested for arthritis?
I basically have a fear and pass out whenever I encounter needles.....
I need to go to the doctor to get my hand checked out and see if I do have arthritis.
If they do need to take my blood, where would they take it from? Upper arm like a regular flu shot?
What if you took a Flu Shot when you had a Cold and a Sinus Infection and were going to start anti-biotics?

I had a cold for 10 days, as of yesterday. I was out of town and went to see an internist that a friend recommended. Doc thought that I may also have a sinus infection. He prescribed anti-biotics and gave me a flu shot at the same time. I told him that I'd heard that you can't do that, get a flu shot while sick. He said it was not really true, and that I may feel more sick for a couple of days, but both the anti-biotics for my infection and the flu shot for future flu prevention would be effective, nonetheless. Can anyone, with knowledge to that, confirm or deny?
