  7. 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

    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 :)

    Mine is A or Asomething so needed.
     
  19. 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 ;)
