Anybody here who donates blood in a regular basis?

I don't donate blood but I do donate plasma every week, two times a week. I enjoy it, I make money doing it, and I am helping to further research into medicines and the plasma is also used to make medicines. While I am there, I get to relax on a bed and watch new movies. I have seen so many new movies from donating plasma that I hardly ever go to the theater or rent movies anymore. I usually use my Blockbuster Rewards account to rent games these days. I have noticed that it helps me keep an eye on things like my weight, blood pressure, pulse, and iron intake. If my iron is too low then I cannot donate that day and I lose out on the money that I would normally make. I usually use the money for groceries as it is about sixty five dollars a week that I make for doing it.

i had donate blood at one before 5 year after that never but its good to donate blood

Hello there. I am also a regular donor. I started donating when I was 17 years old. I have O positive blood. I've donated 8 times so far. I'll be going for my 9th donation soon. Actually, I have been rejected many times for blood donation due to low iron count. This is common among girls as we lose significant amount of blood monthly. Now, I make it a point to keep myself healthy and to have a balanced diet with all the important minerals and nutrients (especially Iron). When I was younger, I tend to skip meals and eat unhealthily. I need to keep myself healthy so that my blood is healthy enough to help people.

i wonder if anemics like me can donate blood too :)
