Pain management during labour

I'd like to try an epidural during this labor since this is my last baby, can't physically handle another pregnancy, I want to be able to remember it and have it be a good experience. Only thin is I'm terrified of needles. I literally panic when I think of them. I can get blood taken and flu shots done but I shake and I go pale and my stomach turns to knots and I get a headache. So I'm a little afraid of it hurtin to have the epidural done.
