I am the same way lol so, if you have one of the newer test kits you can test in diffrent areas like your arm or on you hand. Some of them even have other areas you can use. READ your book that came with your kit. I do my arm, but the other way of doing your finger is to set the pen on the smallest pick it can do. Then you will not feel it the first time then move it up one or two; it's away of tricking yourself because you don't feel anything with the first few picks, and sometimes you might even get the blood you need lol . REMBER TO ALWAYS DO THE SIDE OF YOUR FINGER NOT THE END OF IT.
