Take blood thinners before hand to prevent clotting.

I used to have blood drawn weekly, and now it's monthly, it's no big deal. If the person drawing the blood knows what they are doing it should be painless. Have them use the small needle with a flexible tube that goes to the collection bottle, it's easier on you.
