They couldn't get mine out, it's the consistency of butter.

Never got round to doing it, really. I keep meaning to, but they tend to do it when I'm at work or when I have an early start the next day.

I'm going to have to wait until June anyway if I want to as I had my lip pierced at the end of January and they say to wait 4 months.

Too many cancers, too many pills and too much blood pressure.

Yea they come every few months to work and we can donate during working time.
Get paid (by fact its work time) to give blood, win win

lol 400! I'm on 3 at the moment but I plan to go regularly from now on as there's a blood donation centre just round the corner so I can give any time

stulid · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:15

I like my blood where it is thanks.

Craig1981 · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:15

I would like to, but I have a severe needle phobia. I've learned to tolerate injections and I didnt have much choice over it when I was in hospital a few years back with my bowel issues, but the idea of having a needle inside me for a prolonged period...

*shudder* I'd end up screaming my head off and taking a header through the nearest window =/

TheKnat · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:16

They won't take mine. Had cancer a few years ago and I'm banned for life

Marky · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:16

I would love to - but I already get nervous if I ever have to have an injection

998cc · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:19

How can you have 400+ donations?? The place i donate only allows a donation every 4 months

norm · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:20

Are there not implied risks when giving blood, no matter how safe the precautions, you could end up with an embolism for example.

Doesn't seem natural purging 1 pint of blood from your body.

Ask for a knife slit then.

Aod · 20 Apr 2011 at 19:24

i'm not allowed to. one of the pills i take means that someone receiving my blood would quickly get very poorly.

I faint, and it's embarrasing.
