Who else is a blood donor?

[Guest]

I give blood on Wednesday and was just wondering who else does? And how much have you donated?
I started many moons ago when I was 18 but only did it a couple of times. I then had babies, tattoos and piercings so could not donate.
I have since started again. Wednesday will be my 6th offering

missed a few inbetween holidays / sickness etc

didnt start till quite late in life must have been @30 ish?

unless you medically or religiously cant give blood then get yourselves along!

imagine if the day you needed blood and they said, sorry no one could be bothered to donate this week...

I do not as often as I wish because of my hypothyroidism as the levels have to be them same for at least 3 months

I used to give blood, donated maybe a dozen times or so and would encourage anyone to try it, it really is quite simple. I was also on the bone marrow register but had to stop both when I got cancer. All good now but as far as I'm aware that means I now can't ever go back to it, please correct me if I'm wrong as I would definitely donate again if I could X

3 pints so far, need to book in for another donation - i love doing it! I get such a buzz feeling when I've done it

well over 35 bags full.

Unfortunately I have had to stop, I now take to much medication.
Blood donation is very important to all of our well being

So please every one go and give an arm full

My husband has donated nearly 20 gallons.

They won't take mine. They think I might have "mad cow". You can't donate if you're in England for more than so many days a year. I think they might take it in a couple of years now that Mum and Dad have gone and I don't spend all summer in England.

I'm waiting for my levels to stabilise so I can give blood. But it's been all over the place this past year.
