Question

Blood donor? I give blood regularly. Do you, and if not, why not, apart from health reasons.?

Answer 1

I used to go but the last few times seemed to make my other health issues far worse. I stopped going as a result.

p.s. I suffer from gout!!!!!! Hurts like h**l.

Answer 2

Bob,

Why when it is not needed

Answer 3

I've donated numerous times.  However last time I was rejected.  I had been in parts of Costa Rica that caused me to be ineligible to donate.  I was so sad.  I'm glad because I know that they are serious about not taking possible bad blood, but it stunk being rejected.  Oh well, I'm clear from that one year ban so I can go donate soon!

Answer 4

I have donated blood before.  However it takes a really long time for my blood to come out and I am uncomfortable around needles.  I have a pretty heavy class load too, so it's not really been one of my top priorities to donate blood.

Answer 5

well i want to, and taken the lil quiz on their website and a year ago i couldnt but next time they are stationed somewhere i can get to i aim to go

Answer 6

I've always been afraid of needles.

But I recently overcame that fear, and am now a blood donar.
