Do you give blood?

I would give blood if I could but I can't due to high blood pressure.

i dont donate blood at all.we only have very little amount of blood circulated in our body.that is 5 liters.when we get injured we only need blood. then how can we give it to others. some of the blood donation camps give money for the blood donator.

I've never given my blood, because I have very high cholesterol in my blood, I don't want to give it to anyone, because it's not good for your heart. But I would really love to give blood because it can help other people who really need it.

No I do not. I think it's an admirable practice, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to give that much blood and walk away without becoming lightheaded and feeling bad all day. I have a feeling I'd be one of those people that would get through giving the blood ok, but when it comes time to leave I'd end up passing out or something.

I used to give on a regular basis until I was diagnosed as anemic. I also tend to have very low iron. I still try to give, but they won't take it. I'm O+ and that is a much needed bloodtype so I really wish I could donate again. I'll keep trying though. I have never needed it yet, but you never know when you might need it.

I've never needed a blood transfusion, and i've never given blood. I am terribly terrified of needles, and sometimes my own blood. I say that with a sound mind, and laugh at the fact that I have three tattoo's. I'll tell you now its just not the same, no matter how many people tell you that it is.

No I've neither given nor received blood. I don't think I want to donate blood anyway. I think every person should think more than twice before receiving blood as part of medical treatment. I feel strongly that one should exhaust every avenue of non-blood treatment. The reason is simple, non-blood treatment is often available but not popularized because of the erroneous belief that blood treatment is faster and better. Let us remember that a man who contracts HIV-AIDS by sleeping with an infected person may not become HIV positive for years. If such a person donates blood (for which screening will return a "HIV negative" result) and that blood is given to another person, the receiver of that blood product stands risk of becoming HIV positive some day. May be my analogy isn't perfect but there is some sense in it. Choose wisely.

no, i cannot because i take medication. so i is not allowed. i would tho, if i could.

Thankfully, I have never been in a situation to need blood. I do give blood when I can as I am o+, the universal donor. My husband has a very rare type and they call him each time he is eligible to give and he always does. I also encourage my nursing students to donate when there is a blood drive at our college...as does my husband. We actually give a bonus point to those who donate! (hey bribery works!)

I have donated blood in the past. I used to do it through my employer in the States. I haven't donated since moving to the UK. I'm not sure that I would here as it makes me quite nervous having to deal with the NHS.

Yes i do My blood group is B -ve. Call me anytime i will be there for anyone in need. Yes bood donation keeps us fit, reduces cholesterol and other lipids and most important saves a life in a need.

In my country, there is a critical shortage of blood. One can see donation centers near malls and shopping centers. There are also commercials over TV encouraging people to donate blood. I've never donated, as I've got a low hemoglobin. My husband and his brother donate blood once or twice a year. By the way, it's very good for a man's health to periodically donate blood. Women lose some amount of blood every month, but men should donate it so that the blood gets renewed.

i will donate if it is really needed and it will save a person.

ya i donated blood and i got too when i was in need blood for my mother. Those person are relly great, as it was an serious operation they didnt confirmed the date properly. but those guys will come daily to hospital and wait to donate. so i think donating is good sometimes u wont get that back, for that u should not worry actually

I am a universal donor, being O+ group. I had donated blood 4 times to the Red Cross Society.

I have been donating blood every 8 months, 1 bottle to the needy friend of mine who is suffering from is suffering from lukemia and needs blood transfusion frequently. Luckily, i have never needed blood from anyone till date, touch wood

Yes I do donate blood. It is such an easy thing to do...doesn't cost anything...just takes a little time. I usually catch up on some reading. Not too long ago, I got my gallon pin which made me feel good. For a few years I wasn't allowed to give because of some medical restrictions but now they are taking the blood and I'm happy to give. And you are correct, if you have ever needed blood, you become very grateful for the donors.

he he ,i think if we can give up blood ,i suggest you to give it 's up .it 's will help with more other people.and we can get more help from the other people.

nops yar i hav never given blood in all my life.I neva faced such a situation.

It's nice to know you think that way. Thanks!
