Do you give blood?


I just wondered how many people on here give blood?

I used to but I'm not allowed to anymore, which makes me very angry as I want to give & I know how desperate they are for blood!

Re: Do you give blood?


I used to give blood quite regularly but every single time I did, I fainted As a nurse this was rather embarrasing so I stopped going

Re: Do you give blood?


I hvae fainted too Fran, only on my 1st time & I think it's because I hadn't eaten before going.

I can't give any more because I've had a tranfusion, which is all the more reason for me to want to give something back, but they changed the rules a few years back & anyone who's had a transfusion since 1980 can't give.

Re: Do you give blood?


I do.
I am embarrassed at the pre-donation questions asked now. It's almost as if a donation is a badge of honour for good behaviour.
I am sometimes annoyed at the (what seem to me) ridiculous reasons for not taking a donation.
Litigious times I suppose .....
