I understand. It is totally different to have a hole punched in you than to have a needle sucking blood out of you. The one time I gave blood, the person doing it apparently did it wrong because it hurt like hell... to the point where I was crying uncontrollably. They took the needle out once they realized that I was in pain, but I don't think I can ever give blood again because of that one bad experience. Luckily, I'm quite a bleeder, so I managed to give them just enough blood in the short time that the needle was in my arm!

I cant remember but I'm either AB+ or AB-...I know I'm in the minority eitherway

[DolphinChicaDDD]

I'm O+

And now here is some useless info from your resident biologist
Certian blood types have certian antigens, making you more susceptiable to certian diseases.

A: You are likely to get viruses, such as: sphyllis, smallpox, bronchial pnemounia, and Rhemetic heart disease

B:You are more likely to get bacterial infections like: the flu, infantile diarrehia(cased byE.coli ), thyphoid fever, and scarlet fever

O: The radoms, more likely to get: Bubonic plauge, chlorea, and parathyphoid


This has been your useless fact of the day...enjoy!

O+ and I've given blood twice, but my natural body temp's just thismuch to high to give so I either have to cheat the thermometer or not give....but I've been told not to give again both times I gave...the first time caz it took 20 min and I was too slow, the second because it took 4 min. and I almost passed out...

I can't give blood, so I've never been able to figure out my type. I think, however, that both my parents are AB+. I'm pretty sure, anyways. Is there a way to get your type w/o losing a pint in the process?

AB+, I suppose I should donate blood more often, but I've just recently cleared the 1 yr. rule since I got my navel pierced. It seems that whenever I am "safe" to danate I end up getting another piercing or tattoo.

I have no idea what my blood type is.

I also can't donate blood because I am a diabetic and in Canada diabetics are barred from donating blood.

I am O+, Mr Sageofages is AB+, we have 3 biological children .

A+, B+ and O+ ....go figure .

The blood bank called recently to ask Mr Sageofages to donate blood. He responded "I am sorry I can not donate, I am in a high risk group" and hung up the phone. Whereupon I said "what the F*ck do you mean HIGH RISK group? Is there something I should know?" He looked me *without* blinking..."I am in a high risk group...*afraid* of needles"

geez...I did throw the sofa pillow at him.

Updated to add, since Mr Sageofages heart attack, his fear of needles is much less (considering he had 16 bags of fluid running into him ...16 needles). Still not donating, but doesn't cry anymore when he has to have a shot .

I usually have trouble because I'm always anemic, but sometimes my blood sinks in the test like it's supposed to. I'm always borderline! I still can't give because of my time overseas, but hopefully soon I can give.

[BirthaBlue4]

o pos

I get semi-weak when they take a sample, so I dunno about giving.

[DZTUBAGIRL]

O+
I give blood every chance that I get. I used to not be able to give blood because I was anemic.
