donating blood?

[mikeswift]

ok I'm wanting to donate blood next week, long story but I usually donate and I want to but I'm currently on Test Enth, Anavar, Epistane and IGF(on training days) as well as syntheselen and synthetine. I think my blood pressure is under control and my HR is as well so that shouldn't be a problem, anything else you guys can think of that would prevent me from donating? I don't want to raise any red flags in front of coworkers

thanks in advance.

They ask now if you have used anything that requires injecting in which case you may be rejected (needles and hiv precautions--wasn't like that in the past). When people ask me to donate, I just tell them I can't because I have to take regular injections every week for TRT.

that's what I was thinking because I've done it in the past and it's actually a good way to lower your blood volume if you're on EQ

Lucky bastard that gets my blood is going to be pumped. LOL

Mike, i'm always eating lol... I am not sure why I passed out. To be honest I never thought about i just figured some people do and some don't. Is it unusual to pass out after giving blood? You got me wondering now.. :uhoh: :dizzy:

 

[mikeswift]

it's unusual for someone your size but some people pass out for a variety of reasons... low blood pressure, low blood sugar etc. or it could just be the squeemish factor. lol

i had a bro sick w/ cancer and i used to donate all the time... i would b.s. the evaluation part b/c i have a bunch of tatoos and they won't let you donate within a year of a tat or a piercing, b/c of the risk Hep.. Blood banks are in desperate need of blood and their real concerns are HIV/AIDS, Heppititus, and other viruses and diseases... as long as you're not all diseased up you'll be fine.plus they give you a cookie and a little thing of juice ...and you'll feel a little high from the blood loss.

 

[mikeswift]

mmmmm cookies, nuff said bub.

I thought I'd be fine when I was having blood taken for a routine thing; so I watched when they took the 4 vials outta me. Didn't think it would do anything; but when i came to i was sittin in a hospital bed with two nurses over me askin how I was....Weird how that happens...

yea losing a whole pint of blood will do that to ya..i sliced my right index finger wide open in ninth grade and by the time i got to the nurses office i felt like i drank a whole bottle of NyQuil
