-- Posted by igotaquestion at 11:01 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Gooo me, it was a pretty good experience because i got a person that was actually a trained hurse and not a volunteer. After she took the needle out i started to feel woosy and light headed and everything started sounding funny so she put my head down and elevated my feet and i was all better. She let me hold my blood after! It was so cool and didn't hurt as bad as i thought it would, i barely felt it. You guys should try and give blood if you weight over 110 and are at least 17. -- Posted by soldier side at 11:02 am on Nov. 19, 2008 i do it all the time. good for you -- Posted by melodysoaringthru at 11:03 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I tried but didn't have enough iron to do it. Did it look like they took a LOT of blood? -- Posted by Kitty Kiska at 11:03 am on Nov. 19, 2008 OMG id love to...but everytime i give blood for a test im left sitting there for 30 minutes, being pocked and the nurse constantly complaining that she cant find any veins i bruse easily... -- Posted by vampirefreak at 11:03 am on Nov. 19, 2008 i have tried to donate plasma but they say my veins are too thin... does that really matter i mean with plasma they are putting the blood cells back in -- Posted by Chiefette at 11:04 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I did it once, and will never do it again.  The woman who took mine had no idea what she was doing.  I don't think she actually got the needle in my vein.  I think she just went straight through it.  I barely bled any, and after ten minutes told her to get the needle out of my arm.     Not only that, but I about had a panic attack.  I had a friend give a double donation in the time it took me to fill an 8th of the bag. -- Posted by Quantumleaper at 11:04 am on Nov. 19, 2008 id love to just for cookies and juice. -- Posted by vampirefreak at 11:04 am on Nov. 19, 2008 of course you can donate plasma more often... and make more money a week -- Posted by igotaquestion at 11:04 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from melodysoaringthru at 2:03 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I tried but didn't have enough iron to do it. Did it look like they took a LOT of blood? it looked a lot and to think i have like 8 of those in me -- Posted by igotaquestion at 11:06 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from vampirefreak at 2:03 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 i have tried to donate plasma but they say my veins are too thin...   does that really matter i mean with plasma they are putting the blood cells back in with small veins if you have a higher concentration of blood cells to plasma then your veins could easily become congested with all the blood cells i guess so yeah it matters lol or maybe the needle was just too big -- Posted by XMariex at 11:11 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I've wanted to do that, but can't just yet. my parents wouldn't let me.
