I've got a little card with my blood group and it says I am a donor, i carry it around in my wallet. It's a bit worn out now actually...
Think about whether you feel like your body can take it.
They do.
Er, I get it, but they could just take less blood from little people up to about an eight of the blood, same as...
It doesn't help that with my Dad, they end up stabbing his arm about 10 times as they can never find his veins.
URGH. Needles. I would give blood but....:no:
Over 50 kgs.
Just under. 7st 12 it says.
Little packs for little people... Might not end up getting the same amount, but if all the little people who would otherwise be ok to give blood gave, then that would make it worth it, surely?
I have had to have blood taken from my hand or wrist before.... not nice
Same!
It's a shame, really, but I see their reasons. Still, I'm on the organ donor register which makes me feel a little better. But then of course I would have to die to be of any assistance!
In fact I'm fond enough of them that I had a new piercing and now can't give blood for a while. Yaaaa boo.:impissed:
It should tell you on the giving blood website (which I've forgotten the URL for) whether or not you can give blood - well, it asks you various questions and when you give a certain answer it'll tell you can't igve blood.
I can't give blood (again) due to having another cold. Is it possible for me to give blood even though I self harm?
