I know that some people give blood, and it seems like a good gesture.  Maybe I'm just paranoid or selfish but I have never given blood.  I feel like I invested too much money in whats in my blood.  Is this an ignorant statement to make?  Would any aas user give blood?  How would losing blood effect a cycle?

when I'm off, I always give blood...  hehe, I just lie about the needle question.  I think it's a good thing to give, both for the sake of helping others, and it stimulates your bone marrow to make more blood cells.

I totally agree that it is great to give.  What would happen if you were "on" and you gave? would they even take it?  Would your cycle become weakened?

You have to fill out a huge ass form in order to donate blood, and on it you are asked if you use any injectable drugs.  Basically they wont take your blood if you do, and you will get black-listed from ever doing so again.  But you can lie about it - though if you're 'on' at the time of the donation, I'm really not sure what effect the hormone in your blood would affect the end user.

Regardless, I think donating while 'On' is a bad idea, but when you're clean I don't think it would matter.

Of the 50 or so questions on that form, about 10 really make you laugh.

i guess injecting drug users aren't favorable donators.

I wouldn't recommend donating while on.  You'll be giving away your juice, and I'm not sure, but I would think that if your blood contained elevated male hormones that it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for say some young boy or girl to receive it in a transfusion.

If I was able to, I would give blood. But, I am not abe to, they won't except it. I have had both serum hepatitis, and mononucliosis. I give blood for my myself, before I have an operation though. Later

if you could convince your md that your mono escalated into chronic fatigue syndrome you could get some good meds.  specifically Phentermine.  that shits like 1000 ephedrine tabs in one little pill.  jk.
