Really feels good after donating blood

My boyfriend is a regular blood donor. He donates blood I think twice a year. He always encourages me to donate blood because according to him it will be good in the regulation of blood in our body. Once we donate blood, our old blood will be replace by a new blood. I adore him for that activity. He never hesitates to give his blood and said there is an un explainable feeling when he donates blood to the patient. I did attempt also once but the medical attendant told me that my weight is not appropriate or not allowed me to donate blood. So I should more gain weight.

Wow...I haven't tried it as I think I will not be okay in doing that since I am pale...

Everybody should donate blood? For what reason? To spread the hiv virus or hep virus or other diseases even more? Personally I am not interested in any blood transfusions and with me there are other people who think exactly the same about it. It cost you nothing? In my country it does, this besides of the fact they will not accept everybodies blood at all. They are not in that need. Just for A/B and the - factor perhaps 0. You also say that you need a proper diet plus drinking plenty of juices. Any idea what that cost in my country??? So it does cost you (although I do not believe that drinking plenty of juices will give you better blood at all.. garlic will and so are nettles they clean the blood). I will never donate blood since I have to use medication and I do not believe I will be of any help (or be accepted) this besides of the fact I have A+ the most common bloodtype there is. Also I have big doubts about the hygiene (needles etc) used. Many people are also infected by dirty needles, doctors, nurses, dentist, etc.

I am a regular blood donor. I do it every three months. Yes, it does feel good knowing that the blood that we donated will do some good for the people who needs to do blood transfusion. Most hospitals are having a blood bank to keep the blood and make efforts to make sure its storage is adequate for the needs. It is very easy to donate your blood. Any healthy persons would very likely qualify to donate.

hi, you are right. Donating blood is really a good deed. I donate blood not on regular basis. But I have donated for 4 times. One incident is very touching for me. My elder sister's husband had bye pass surgery 5 years before. He needed blood. My blood matched with his blood. and I donated blood for him and helped to save his life.

I did, and it was really wonderful. Although my blood is not special, It is just O+. but i was scared at first... they couldn't find my veins. Oh my goodness, my veins were afraid too, hiding in my fats. LOL It was great and I am still okay donating my precious blood.

They won't take my blood or plasma because of my health. Have you ever donated plasma? They will actually pay YOU for plasma.

I used to donate regularly. Since I have a blood type that is not the most common, I was welcomed with open arms. Then, it was discovered that I have MS. That put an end to my donations. The disease itself would not be transferred by my blood, it's the drugs I have to take to combat the disease. I used to get letters from the blood bank begging me to come in and donate. I would nearly cry because I can no longer accommodate them. After the 3rd call, advising them of my situation, I was finally taken off their mailing list.

I love to donate blood. The most interesting fact about donating your blood is sometimes it saves more than just one life. I look at it this way, what if one day I needed someones blood. It would be available and I feel the only way to give back is if i did the same for people who helped me. I am pregnant so I cant donate yet until I have the baby. But I try as much as I can because it is very important to people who actually need it. Some people need blood transfusions every month and our body keeps making more of it so why not????

Yes, it make me feel good after donated my blood knowing the fact that it can be used to save someone in an emergency situation; but it also make me feel dizzy and weak physically after the blood transfusion especially i am such a skinny dude that barely has enough blood to support my own body and need. I am just glad i remain alive after donated my blood several times in the past occasions. It is one of a many way for one to build up own karma in life.

Yours deed is noble and great. Only with donating one unit of blood we can save live of some persons. Our body recover with in 48 hours after donating blood. Blood bank is nearby my working place. Honestly speaking I was never donate blood. I am disable person so it is hard to go inside of blood bank.

When I was working,I was giving blood ever six months,It does me no harm,and I am happy to know that it could save a life makes me feel good . You are right,everybody that is able, should give blood.It is the gift of life.

That is wonderful and good of you. God will return the good deed you have done. Have a nice day!

I have not donated blood before. However, I do plan to do so one day. I have no problem with needles or any of that because I semi-reguarly get blood work done. I just need to find out when the next clinic is coming around to my town and I need to go at a good time (such as when it isnt snowing too badly or whatever) :)

yes the feel and the good mindset after that will feel really good and we feel happy for donating something valuable

I haven't tried to donate my blood but I do think this is a good thing to do coz first you did something that is meaningful and second of all you made your blood fresh. I believe that just do something according to your heart and make your life wonderful. It's nice hearing you said that and hope you enjoy what you've done. Enjoy your life.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am so happy to know u are a regular blood donor and most importantly, with your blood donation, you are saving many lives which is in itself a great thing. Blood donation is considered as one of the most pious acts on this earth and i am touched the way u said that u are feeling happy after donating blood. I have never donated my blood and hopefully i get a chance to donate and save many lives. What say?

Sure is a good feeling.. knowing that you could be saving someone life.

yes,donatinf blood can save some people's life. this is the value of doing this. I am too thin to do so. if i get fat enough tp donate blood, i will have a try. but i am a littlr afraid.

I have not donated blood, for I am anemic. Thank you for donating your blood to save someone.... Some time ago my son fell ill and needed a lot of blood.... his life was saved. I was (still am) so grateful for the people who donate blood.
