I donate blood approx every four months - that is what I'm allowed to. Sometimes it can be upp to five months before I get there, because as I am a dancer I have to make sure I don't have any big shows or reherasals for a few days after donating.
I think it is everyones duty to donate blood! I am terrified of needles, me to, but I still go - and the nurses are very very good and kind. I think everyone whould face their fears and do it to help other people!

I never had chance to donate my blood to someone else. I don't even know my blood type :( I honestly salute those people who have done this.
Cheers!

I really hate to say this because I am a national donar and any one could use my blood type but never. I am terribly affraid of needles. I can just look at one and i will be passed out cold on the floor. I do not know why I do this but it is something that I have done since I was very little.

yea well just think this way... When you donate blood fresh new blood will be generated and you will be more healthier

I prefer to sell my plasma. It is used to make product that diabetics and others need. I get paid for it and it help my budget. With today's gas prices I am able to break even. I haven't been since I started my new diet but this next week when I am off a day I am going over and selling more. I am able to do it twice a week.

I've never been able to donate blood, although I've always wanted to. I've had several tattoos & piercings before & for each one I think you have to wait 2 years before trying to donate. There was also a time that I was anemic & they wouldn't let me donate for that reason either. I haven't tried lately though...maybe I will!
