BLOOD: Do you donate your blood?

I love too but I am afraid of needles or anything can puncture me eventhough i graduated in medical school.lol I always said to my self that why not try donating blood in Red Cross and help those who are in need of flood. BUt, it scares me a lot everytime i remember the procedure and I don't know if i qualify as a donor due to some medical history. I hope i can help some other way...

i haven't tried donating my blood. i think this works and is good for males, because they don't have regular menstruation like females...

I have not experienced donating blood in my whole life. The idea of saving a life is appealing to me, but undergoing the process of having a needle be pricked to me and me seeing my blood flowing from me to a blood plastic container is very nerve wracking for me. The scent of blood and the sight of it makes my stomach sick and I feel really dizzy. So I really do hope I wont be needing to donate blood even once in my whole life.

Just as you said, by your blood donation more people can benefit from it, maybe sometimes, your blood could even rescue a life. Last month, I donate 400ml blood to the natinal red cross, and I am really quite happy for doing that, though I do not feel quite comfortable after blood donation, I feel some kind of dizzy.

yes i donate my blood to the blood banks. because this is the only thing that a human can sacrifice. it have the power to save a persons life. if i can not donate blood then i will not get it whenever i really need it. when the supply of blood is too short then my blood can save a life of a man or a child or a baby or a mother or a father. it will be a best gift from me to a needing person

I haven't tried it yet mobhomeir. I know what it feels to be punctured by a needle and it kinda scares me._

I think its pretty noble of you to donate blood to the Red Cross. A lot of lives can be saved with your donations. I have a friend who donates blood regularly, he was also the one who told me that donating blood is good for the body. I just don't think that I am qualified to donate blood because I always lack sleep. I might actually need to have more blood myself hehe I wanted to try it before when I was younger and in a more healthier state but I had no idea how.

I haven't tried to donate but I am planning next year. I am afraid to see a blood and I am scared of syringe.

I really wanted to, but I cant. I'm on medication so my blood is not qualified for donation. I'll try to help in other ways. My blood type os "O".

hmmm, i do donate but not tat often... however i wanna make it regular...

I really like to donate but i only weight less than 50kg. I am not qualify for it. Some of my friends donate their blood to Red Cross. They observe that their skin looks young, because their body produce new blood for then after their other blood is donate. Aside from helping people to add life to those who are in emergency situation. You could really proud for yourself knowing that you donate blood with no money paid for your blood. Your only benefits from doing it, you feel young again and strong after few days from date of your blood donation. For first time who will donate blood. They will feel weak as the body adjust to the changes as your blood is slightly decrease. But you will get back to normal self after eating food and rest body.

To be honest then I have never donated my blood to any red cross, I feel afraid of the needles and even for a simple fever I prefer to administer tablets than taking needles but I know sooner or later I have to get this needle. My dad donates his blood regularly and he says that maybe he is saving many lives over there I do agree with him and I also know that I will have to go against this fear of mine with the needles to be able to give some bloods to save other lives.

i am 23 yrs old, i have donated blood 11 times, i have also pledged my eyes and want to pledge my other parts as well. we all should do the same, because human body is a very precious thing to waste

I actually really like donating blood. I like feeling like I'm doing something that could potentially save someone's life, and I think it's fun. I've never been scared of needles, and I think watching the blood pump is really fascinating. I love how it makes me think about the inside of my body and how everything works.

Hi, I know I'm a B+ since I was young, my parents told me to remember it and tell it if I had an accident. I started donating blood when I turned eighteen, but I couldn't do it everytime I was supposed to, because you can't donate in some particular situations. For esample, you can't do it if you had a relation with someone who isn't your partner from a long time before. Same goes if you went to some country considered at risk of some desease, or if you had surgery. To donate blood is a big responsability, and I hope everyone will act consequently, and do not donate if they have done something risky. I have also decided to donate organs, when I will pass out. I will not need them then.

Hi, I don't regularly donate blood, but if there is a urgent need and my blood type is suitable, I will do it. I am rather uncomfortable with the blood-letting process though.

I used to donate a couple times each year. But then, at work one day (I work in health care), I was stuck with a contaminated needle. It wasn't infectious, but the red cross and other agencies make you wait a year before you donate. I just haven't gotten back. I always felt it was my responsibility to donate. I have O negative, which is the universal donor. It's what is used in emergency rooms when blood is needed immediately before the patients blood type is known. I think I'll set up an appointment to donate.

Never tried donating blood. But in case that I need to donate for someone, I would be more than willing to donate mine. Besides donating your blood is not only beneficial for the recepient but also for the donor. Happy MyLotting!

I wish i could donate blood, when my sister was hospitalized and needed 5 bags of blood i try to donate but i failed the screening because i was under weight. But i really want to help my sister good thing that she has a lot of friends who was capable of doing this. You are right by blood letting you lose your blood but it will be replaced by new one which is very good to your health. Aside from the good feeling that you know you have helped some one and saving their life.

During in universtity, my major teacher recalls that every one should have a love heart and help these people who need blood, you know,because everyone have a large passion and try first do contribute blood, so i am relly excited about it ,so i contribute about 300cc ,oh, it is my first to donate blood .
