A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I also find whenever I think about it before hand, it really helps to totally distract myself with something else so I don't panic and refuse to go, it's often worse in my head!
Also talking to someone before I go in (usually really fast about complete garbage in my case!) helps, as well as telling the person doing the injecting how scared I am!
Although the best cure I found was laughing gas (the doc gave it to me!) I just didn't care about the injection anymore! Not sure if they do it any more, or at all wherever you are, (i'm in england), but it's worth asking, it really really helped.
Hope these tips are useful!
Hang in there, hope it goes ok

All of my life I have had this phobia. I just dont know what to do about it because I know that in the future more than likely I am going to have to more and more shots plus one day I do want to have children. Right now I am totally hopeless.
