Do you know your blood group?

My blood group is O negative. It's one of the rare groups and sought after for donations. I used to donate blood several times when I was younger. But I had diseasess after which nobody wants my blood anymore.

I am a type B, As much as I want to donate blood they won't allow me because I am inked. I do regret having tattoos because of going through a phase. I remember in Japan, they treat blood type like it is horoscope. they have beliefs your Blood type defines your personality.

Mine is O+ and I've never donated. I should but truth is that I'm kind of lazy. I know there are benefits, such as STD tests and cookies. At least it is like that here.

Yes, mine is A negative. I used to donate but haven't since being transfused a few times after surgery. I suppose I could.

I am O Negative, and I try to donate every 8 weeks as they allow. I've been doing it faithfully since I was 18 years old, so it's been many, many decades now that I have continued to give blood. I considered it my civic duty to help those in need.

Yes I know my blood type. I'm B negative. I don't donate though.

i know i'm o but i can't remember if it's positive or negative. i've only donated once to a family member a few years ago.

Dear friend, I have the same group with you .

I am rhesus negative. Last time I tried to donate they refused my blood. I should probably check if it is OK now.

I am an O positive and I used to donate but I have been to England too many times and they are afraid about Mad Cow, go figure!! But two of my children are A negative and they both donate regularly.

Mine is AB and I haven't tried donating my blood.

As I used to work in a medical lab, I've always known mine.

Yes, I do know. I have not donated blood yet.

I am O-'ve. ....but i don't donate...I have deficiencies in by blood...I am currently having to give extra attention to everything I eat.

I didn't mean to "hijack" your discussion, but I just think that this NEW information about alternatives to blood transfusions is important for people to know. After so many people got HIV a few years ago, because of lack of knowledge about blood-borne diseases, a LOT of NEW research has been done and the results published but evidently very FEW people have paid attention, it seems. Many people are still under the impression that donated blood is SAFE because they THINK its been tested but actually there are NO TESTS available for some of the blood-borne diseases that are passed along to unsuspecting patients. And much of the blood in blood banks came from countries that don't test the blood at all. Some persons here think that I'm pushing what Jehovah's Witnesses believe but I'm sharing information that thousands of SCIENTISTS and DOCTORS are recommending, because of THEIR RESEARCH. Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have paid attention to this NEW research and they are HAPPY that more and more people know about the alternatives. LIVES are being saved. Patients who are NOT Jehovah's Witnesses are better informed and are NOW requesting those alternatives. I can only hope that MORE people would understand the risks of blood transfusions.

Did you know that there are blood substitutes that work even better than blood and are much safer? I carry a "NO BLOOD" card that lists all the substitutes that I will accept. There are no lurking diseases in these substitutes.
