    Tried to donate today, but I couldn't :( I ate well all day, drank tons of water, watched the tv and concentrated on breathing deeply, but I barely got 1/4 of the bag and I nearly passed out. Ghost white, black spots all over my vision and I was sweating more then than after a session at the gym!

    I can try again 12/12. Any additional tips?

    It was nice, though, there was a constant flow of others coming in to donate while I was there.

    It sounds like you did everything you could (depending on your definition of well -- it's encouraged to eat something LIGHT before donating). I would try donating again. If it's a one-time thing, awesome. If it turns out that you're just a fainter and shouldn't donate, at least you know you tried.

    Hiya!
    Unfortunately I cannot donate due to a very rare blood cancerous disorder ( one in a million in ppl )
    I have a rare blood group too plus other conditions regarding blood ( typical of me to be awkward lol )
    I want to say a big thank you to people who donate blood as its a massive help, I am exhausted after my treatment as others would be too but a very big thank you and to others who either do not give blood or won't... Just imagine yourself in a place like myself and others, it only takes up to a hour to give blood but it can save lives x

    I used to donate blood but can't at the moment because of medication I'm on. However they told me last time that if I was ill after donating again then I'd not be allowed to donate any more :( It's not that I'm seriously ill afterwards - I'm fine once I get out of the donation centre, I'm just petrified of needles and it makes me feel woozy being around them! I suck it up and donate anyway but the panic they get when they see in my notes "was ill after" and the big deal they make of it makes it a lot more frightening and harder to stay calm enough to actually go through with it! And being laughed at and asked why I am there then if I try to explain makes it embarrassing and not a nice experience, but it is always the same team doing it in my area and I'll be moving soon so I hope I will get more sympathetic nurses when I'm in a new area. Regardless of all this it is a wonderful thing to do and I will try my best to keep doing it once I am taken off medication and hope that everyone else who is able to do so will do it.
