No one knows quite how or why, just that it does! They found this out by scanning peoples brains before and whilst they had needles inserted - it was amazing.</p> <p>You could always try hypnosis as a pain blocker as well. Apparently some people can be operated on under hypnosis and without anaesthetic and they don;t feel a thing, but remember everything.</p> <p>I hope you guys aren't flooded like Steve and Elizabeth!</p> <p>Becxx</p> Apparently the needles are so small you don't really feel them.
