As your blood may have boiled up reading that title, why not donate some of it? - www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26577766

I don't know if they still do, but after my first time she let me feel the bag - how heavy and warm it was. It was very strange, thinking that that had been inside me 15 minutes before!

Good work I'm already booked for my next appointment in June, though sadly I have bog standard A+ rather than the rarer ones they need in that article.

I used to donate but had to have a transfusion after a very difficult labour so can't donate now. Thanks to all that have and do, you made a poorly new mum much better

Bump

I'm trying really hard to get my anemia under control as I'm O neg and want to share!

It's entirely my fault because I hate most food with iron in and can't swallow pills, but I'm trying! A steak a day...helps me give blood away?

Another A+ here, but they won't take mine now. All to do with a heart condition apparently.

sigh

Gave last Friday. Good for the soul, although I find stairs a bit much for six hours afterwards.

I'm zero neg, but they won't take my blood. They are very picky about who they take blood from.

Appointment booked for next month even though I'm lightheaded just thinking of needles.

Thought id give it another bump

I will enquire, thanks OP

I've had my life saved because of lovely, kind people who donate.
Thank you. xx

Great thread! I cannot donate again for another 6 months, but will be straight back there when I am allowed!
