Yes. I have been a blood doner for many years. I am A+.
Since I came to the States to live I have donated plasma which was a better experience for me as I could go about my daily activities without any side effects (no strenuous exercises up to 24 hours as a blood doner)

I have never given blood. I've thought about it just never got around to it. I should give sometime this year.

I am A+ (which I joke is the only A+ I've ever gotten in my life!). No, I have never given blood. You have to weigh 110 pounds to do it, and I only weigh 100 pounds. Plus, I have Celiac Disease so I tend to be anemic. My husband used to give blood before being diagnosed with diabetes (he's type 1).

I have and I love it! I'd love to give it on a regular basis, but I just don't. :( If I hear about blood drives, I try to make it if I can.

I always give blood. Everytime I am eligible. It makes me feel like I am doing my part to help those in need. Blood is always needed even when there isn't a national crisis. I am A positive.

I used to give blood regularly. Now that I am in law school, I need all my blood (I get kind of sick because of poor circulation, so it takes me a while to recover from giving blood).

I used to give regularly years ago. But I'm older now and take high blood pressure medication, so don't think I can give blood now.
