Giving Blood? - Eternal Allegiance

Do any of you guys donate your blood? I do, altho i always collapse and pass out cold afterward lol! I go every 3 months. My next session is due soon and i was just wondering whether or not any of you guys did? Not sure how it works in other countries but over here in the UK we have blood sessions set up every now and again in our area, eg the local community centre, etc etc.

Call 1 - 888 - 2 - Donate. Blood, it's in you to give.

*cracks that lady on the head with a coconut* NO, it's in you to live. But it'd be nice to give.

LMFAO, anyways, I haven't donated, but I've wanted to on many occassions. I just never think of doing it when I have time to.

I'm afraid of doing it. I feel that when they test if my blood is ok for blood tranfusion they will find some disease of somekind. Ignorance is bliss.

I couldnt do it, I had a blood test once and that was enough. My mum used to do it regularly though.

I don't give blood. Id like to do it, just not at the moment. But I am a donor.

I do carry an organ donor card.

ElectronicWorm · 03-09-2005, 12:55 PM

Do you give all possible Emma, or do you want to 'keep' some organs?

Ugh! No. I hate getting blood taken for tests so I certainly wouldn't volunteer for it.

Kudos for those who do.

THANK you for those who donate. After I had my child I lost a lot of my blood and had to have a blood transfusion or whatever it's called. So I would have died if not for the lovely people who give blood. <333 Much love to you guys, cause I could have your blood in me right now.

But to answer the question, unfortunatley I'm anemic, underweight, and don't have a good blood cell count, so I'm not allowed to give blood. I really want too though.

I think it's a great thing to do, and I'm not scared of needles. I think I'll try again and see if they'll let me.

I wish I could. I feel like it's a good thing to do. But I get nauseous just at the thought of having a needle stuck into one of my veins.
