I have Haemochromatosis so I regularly have 500ml taken from me. Depending how high my ferritin levels are it could be as much as 1 x 500ml per week. Gets chucked in the bin though. Been doing this for 5yrs now. Well done @Foxy
French don't like foreign blood ,I have a customer who travels to England to give blood ,I was over my 50th pint before moving...
They won't have mine due to past minor indiscretions and were very rude about it too, I'm surprised anyone manages to fight through the red tape. There's F-all wrong with me, I should have just lied.
I've signed up last week and first session in Feb.... A meaningful New Years resolution! The nipper has had 2 transfusions since he was born and it made me realise how important this is
my wife gives blood on a regular basis but always gets messed about with times and dates and is considering packing it in, you wouldn't think they needed it. I don't but I carry a donor card and can use everything if I cop it, if I'm brown bread I wont need it.......
Heading towards my 50th donation in a year or two (although regular travels in Africa does tend to mean I have to sit it out for 6 months afterwards each time, til they're sure I've not got malaria). I only do it for the cup of tea and custard creams
