Hey, I'm afraid, but I'm going balls(or needles) deep.

Fuck that. I'm keeping my balls away from any needles.

I think this is a great idea. Many people do not relies just how important it is to give blood.

I my self am not eligible to donate, but i strongly support any able bodied person to do so!

Of course I can't give blood at all in Canada anyway. They are worried I might give you all vCJD.
It was really too big:

I give you this instead

I would but I think you have to be 16 to donate blood in Oregon. I'd have to check though.

How do you prevent "shrinkage"? If I'm buying Brad, I want it to be as fresh as the day they packaged it.

(I just realized how awkward that was worded. Meep.)

Just poppin' in now, but this is an interesting idea. I'll think about doing it if it actually ends up happening.

In other words, you took a medication that at the time made your blood toxic, making it a bad idea to donate blood.

But you haven't taken it for years, so in all likelihood, it is out of your system, but the only way to know for sure is to get a blood test.

Just go get the blood test.

In the pre-screening questionnaire they give, theres questions about certain meds. Generally its 6months after you're off the med, but it does depend on the medication. You should still go, you'll get to the private questions part, and then you can ask about the specific med. The nurses have a large binder that has all the criteria in it for meds and other conditions.

Annchan, im surprised noone picked up that you have Thalassemia before. Unless the doc put you on iron therapy without running any tests, which I think is kinda scary. If you did get some blood work done before, the hematology lab people should have been able to see that it looks more like thalassemia than iron deficiency.

So, yeah. I'd like to know when this would be going on. Looks like I missed this past week's clinic here in Nanaimo, so I'd be open to donating with everybody else in november (next Nanaimo clinic is the end of October).
