    I gave blood today

    it seems like every time I do it, I get dizzy and nauseous... seemingly regardless of how much liquids and food I've had for the day. I guess whatever I can to do to save a life is worth going though, though.

    how many of you donate blood?

    I have donated once
    17.24%

                  I have never donated....It's not like I don't want to (picked that option in the poll as it was the only option for not donating), it's that I can't. I get extremely woozy at the sight of my own blood....I can barely even have it taken when required.

                    I get extremely woozy and they always end up putting that smell shit under my nose to keep me from passing out. apparently I just can't handle it.

                    oh well. that won't stop me.

                          as somone who lived in Europe in the past 5 years, I'm not allowed to give here in the US because of the mad cow desease - go figure

                            i donate, enjoy the free meal they give me afterwards, walk out and feel great. never had any problems with dizzyness or worse stuff. it's strange, but everything seems more intense after you let out 500 ml of blood, food tastes better, cigarettes too, it's weird.

                              I was thinking about giving blood since my blood is B+ and would be apreciated, but I have never actualy done it (so far). I will! I promise! Needles dont bother me at all.
