Answer 22

I never have because I have always been told you have to weigh more than 105 lbs. I am about 4'10" and sit at about 100 lbs. and besides- I AM TERRIFIED OF NEEDLES!!!!!

Answer 23

Yes have been going for years, its a really good thing to do. It is only slightly uncomfortable for a very short time and after all, you never know when you may need to be given blood.

Answer 24

Yes, and I'm not sure if you are scared of getting it taken or if you are just asking, but if you are scared there isn't anything to be scared about. :-)

It really is fine, it just feels like a little pinch.

Answer 25

No, but I would like to.  I'm on several medications though and I'm concerned that would stop me from being able to donate.  I need to find out if being on several meds would keep me from donating.  

Answer 26

I'd like to, but, I've had .. and still have a lot of health problems. Although some doctors say the diseases I have aren't contagious, I still don't wanna take the chance that they may be ... doctors don't know everything.  

Answer 27

yeah i have and i hated i felt really dizzy and queasy afterwards but i would do it again if someone in my family or something needed it  

Answer 28

no...i think i would be more trouble than my blood is worth...i faint at the sight of blood...especially my own...then the nurses would have to look after me & that's unfair!   i feel bad that i don't though!!

he he...funny answer from Pooh Bear!!
