They won't take my blood. They have to let it run too long just to get past the foam.

I tried years ago and was too anaemic, then I managed to give one pint but then the rules changed and I can't 'cos like Chezzie I have had a blood transfusion.

I haven't. I tried to after my mom had a few transfusions, I wanted to "return" what had been given her but my bp was too high so they wouldn't accept me.
I will try again.
I will try again.

I used to all the time, but they won't take it since I lived in England back in '92. Mad cow disease :yh_cow:yh_eyerol
You'd think I'd have shown symptoms by now if I have it.

Will they never accept your blood again then? Bizarre :-2

I have given blood a total of 26 times. I gave often in the military to get a day off duty. I sold my blood when in college because I needed the money for books etc. I gave blood when a friend was ill and during my working career I gave blood again. Now, I can no longer give blood as I have the big C.

I checked last spring. I still don't qualify because I lived in England for more than six months in the 90's. The worker didn't know why, so I told her.

I've given probably 10-15 gallons lifetime... over 5 gals with my
current bank, but it's been a little over a year since my last time
(usually give btwn 4-6 pints a year) just 'cause of my health,
my insomnia actually, it's never seemed like I get a good night's sleep
the night before I would go donate, and one of the first questions
on my bank's little survey is "Are you feeling well today?" and you guys
know me, I just can't lie.
If me sleep patterns EVER level out, I'll get back into it again. You
sure get a great feeling when you donate.
