@AKRao24 thank you for the kind words. But it is okay. There are other means to help mankind, my friend.

Yes, there are some parameters they consider before taking the blood for donation, including some tests! I admire your generosity and concern for the people around! Thanks a lot dear @Sreekala ! Stay blessed!

@Sreekala , Oh I see...some times because of dehydration also you have your Hb more than normal! Thanks!

@AKRao24 Tests are common and I am aware, but was not aware about the minimum body weight. However, my HB is above the normal.

That is really so nice to know dear @sprite1950 ! People like you are responsible to have the needed blood available in the blood bank at any required moment! you deserve a special compliment dear friend! I am happy that you know your blood group! In fact I am ready with my nest discussion where i wanted to know if people they know their blood group or not! Thanks a lot and stay blessed!

You must try and help others to feel how you feel helping others who are in real need to save their lives dear fiend @mohit459! This is an appropriate age too! Thanks...God bless!

No , not at all...it is just like taking any i/v drip dear @homeriko21 ! You must try it once to get rid of that fear! Thanks! God bless!

@homeriko21 , Nice to know that, Stay blessed! Thanks!

@AKRao24 thank you, I will try it for sure :)

I am really happy to know that...that is the noblest thing we can do in our life where we are directly saving a life @snowy22315! God bless ! Thanks!

@AKRao24 mostly it went fine. Yet I recall an incidence of September 2005. I donated blood and stood up and sat on a chair. I started feeling a bit dizzy. A friend of mine took me to a doctor there. They asked me to lie down on a bed nearby and told it was due to low BP. So from next time onwards I did not hurry after donating blood and instead take time in consuming juice etc and go away only when feeling fully refreshed.

Well , I can understand that...some people really fear the needles! Thanks for responding @DianneN ! Have a great time! Stay blessed!

Yes, I can understand your problem @ridingbet ! Thanks a lot for responding! Have a great time!

Oh...I understand that....they need certain parameters to met with, before receiving blood from a donor! I sincerely appreciate your feeling of helping the needy dear friend @nela13! Thanks!

I really appreciate your sincere care and concern for the humanity! despite having the set back of low blood pressure you have donated your blood when ever you could! I understand that after traveling one needs to cope up to donate blood! Thanks a lot and please be stay blessed dear friend @lynnief!

Very nice to know that...I appreciate your emotions and feelings...take care...God bless dear friend @Jessabuma !

@AKRao24 take care too and God bless you

Very nice to know about that...I appreciate your concern for the Humanity! God bless! Thanks @Berrygal!

I understand that certain medical condition prevent us from having the blood donated. I understand your feelings but it is better ;isten the experts and act accordingly dear friend! Stay blessed!

@lovinangelsinstead21 , I appreciate that!

@AKRao24 I always do too.

That is really so nice of you to do so? When were you detected of melanoma? Undergoing therapy for that?

@DaddyEvil , No,don't think you I are being selfish! I can see a logic behind your thinking. The Surgery may not be sucessful always ....you were lucky in your first case!

@AKRao24 I was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma when Pretty was nine years old. It spread to four places before my Oncologist decided the only way to stop it was to surgically remove all four sites. He gave me less than .15 chance to survive but agreed to do the surgery because of Pretty... When I woke up after surgery, he had the biggest smile I've ever seen! (He still told me we had to wait and see how successful the surgery was, though.) A few weeks later he told me he had gotten all of the cancer! I think he was happier than I was when he told me that! Nine months after he said I was cancer free, he had to tell me I now had a very rare form of rectal cancer. (Rare enough that the doctors said they'd never seen cancer like it before. ) I have refused the surgery the doctors keep urging me to have because the surgery will leave me less than I am now... I am only sometimes in enough pain to make me consider surgery... but then I remember my life will no longer be worth living afterwards. (I did tell the Oncologists that if they could guarantee the surgery would remove all the cancer, I would think about having it. But life after surgery scares me more than dying from the cancer.) I don't want to be a burden on my family or friends. Do you believe I am being selfish? Edit to add: Notice, I am talking on an old discussion. I have told a few of my myLot friends about this (vanny is one of them) but haven't really explained it to others.

That is very nice to know as you have lost your count! I appreciate your contribution and attitude towards the humanity dear @Kandae11! God bless!

Very well said @sanyai ! I am happy that you are regular blood donor and appreciate your opinion about the blood donation! God bless! Thanks a lot!

You must try to donate the blood...as it makes no difference to us but that can really save one's life! I feel blessed when I recall a seen a person got out the crisis expressed the gratitude for my blood donation! That is an experience we have that can never be expressed in the words! Thanks a lot @Courage7! Stay blessed!

That is a nice thing to know that you have donted your blood several times. Yes in such medical conditions we are not permitted to donate blood. I appreciate your husband for his noble gesture! I appreciate your way of thinking regarding the importance f blood donate having faced a situation which was life threatening for you and the blood only saved your life!

@arunima25 , Oh no! That means this is your secong life you are having! Really thanks to blood bank to save your life! Yes because of these blood banks many lives are getting saved on daily basis! sorry to know about your problems you have because of that incidence! No problem Diabetes is common no a days and I am also suffering from it for last 8 years. And you must be getting regular medications for your hormonal issues! God bless you!

@AKRao24 Yes I had a hemorrhage during my second pregnancy and I lost a lot of blood. I had very little chances of survival and only blood form blood bank could save me. I survives against the odds but my pituitary gland was damaged to an extent and I got diabetes and few hormonal issues to deal with.
