Although, the big strong ones often are the first to faint. :rolleyes: They will post you a donation card and this will have your ABO and Rhesus blood group. I haven't donated for about a year now (always bad timing) so I must front up again. I'm a universal donor so always popular. :p	Jen (38)
1199351	2011-05-05 10:26:00	I managed 18 times before stopped by a medication change. I too am B rh NEG (CDE CDE dHU NEG). 11 in a thousand a:thumbs:pparently. My son is the same & donated during & after the same period as me. Sometimes he would get a phone call to donate a double dose. St Johns would pick him up from work & take him back. Needed for an operation"Tomorrow". I was so proud of him. So Well done to anyone who goes. PJ	Poppa John (284)

1199353	2011-05-05 22:23:00	I just had a look at my card. 32 previous donations. I'm not allowed to do it anymore as I've passed the age limit.What's the age limit?	Tony (4941)
1199354	2011-05-05 22:40:00	I have huge doubts that anyone who ate beef in the UK in the specified time frame is a CJD carrier (there would have been evidence by now) and I would start donating again in an instant if they came to their senses - the holes in my brain are alcohol-related, not Mad Cow Disease! :D Well actually I know a few people who say I'm completely mad, not sure if its from eating beef though. I knew my local butcher personally over there. I went to school with his sons and did some carpentry work for him on both the shop and his home. On the odd occasion I was at the local cattle market you would see him in there buying on the hoof and since he also had his own abattoir that serviced the 3 shops his family owned you knew where your meat was coming from and that it was hand picked :thumbs: Oh and so far I have had 2 operations and awaiting another in 3 weeks and I still don't know my blood group	gary67 (56)
1199355	2011-05-05 23:54:00	Well isnt there anyone with a horror story??? I refuse to give blood after they botched my first one......... EDIT: i drink too much now anyways	Gobe1 (6290)
1199356	2011-05-06 04:49:00	Bah, all this talk of donating blood got me curious and now I'm off in a fortnights time to get my soul drained from me. Sounds fun, hope I pass out and come to with a super hot nurse 'helping' me. :punk Edit: :banana	Bozo (8540)
1199357	2011-05-06 04:55:00	They won’t take my blood, as I was in the UK at the time the Mad Cow was starting.	stu161204 (123)
1199358	2011-05-06 05:03:00	Well isnt there anyone with a horror story???Not really a horror story, but: When I worked for IBM in Oz, the blood people actually came round to the office and set up in the canteen. A group of us donated regularly, and we worked hard to persuade one of the women in the office to join us. You know the sort of thing -"It's painless, think of the choccy bikkies", etc. etc. She eventually agreed. I had never had any problems donating, but for some reason, on that occasion I passed out in the chair. So this woman who had screwed up her courage to do this thing came into the room to find me flat out, white as a sheet and with nurses clustered round me. To her credit, she still made the donation. As for me, I've never had a problem before or since.	Tony (4941)
