I am 66 years old and had to get a letter from my doctor saying it was okay for me to donate Well, i have done it twice a week for a month and a half I actually feel better afterwards I wondered why until i read something about it being true for some because it cleans your blood and actually can prevent heart disease Who would have guessed? I will have to look in to the covid thing though I had it twice back when it was going strong I made it so Comment from : Debra Brown

What if you’re hydrated, eating all of the right foods but you still feel faint, hot and sweaty afterwards or during the process? I do all of the right things and my veins are still small and I can never fill up a full bottle Comment from : Fran W

Will the needle give you a scar? I plan to have tattoos around the area someday and I worry it'll affect the look of my tattoo Comment from : Kekyoin the Shitposting Fool

My problem is I kept on getting high blood pressure but I would drink a beer or 2 before I go in so it better not drink to anything at all before you go? Comment from : Derrick Rankin Jr

how long does it take you the first time you go you have to see a doctor or a health care worker Comment from : peggy sue Giggles

Terrified of needles here I was just open about that with the person who greeted me when I sat down, and he was super nice, took a look at my arm and noticed my veins are small, and he even called over someone on the floor who does well with smaller veins I let her know that I don’t want to see the needle, and don’t want a warning before the stick She was understanding, picked up random conversation while she prepped me as I looked out the window and I was active in the small talk I was very still while this was going on and that allowed her to get the needle in perfectly the first try and I barely felt it She explained to pump my hand when the arm cuff was tight, and relax when the arm cuff let up I read a book, texted a little, basically ignored the hooked up seem entirely I also learned that I can request a specific person to hook me up, so look into that if you are nervous and find someone you like! I will say all the staff is super nice though, and they do this all day every day and that helped me to relax Comment from : Ashleigh Ortiz

I forgot to mention, which people probably do not notice, when they return your red blood cells to you after separation of the plasma, they use sodium citrate for the anticoagulant which is also used as a laxative Guess it may help some people who are slightly constipated Comment from : stilltlrforlife

It is weird how it effects people differently, after my donations I feel no different than before I went in, I do not notice any difference in my body, no dizziness not lethargic as a matter of fact I usually feel pretty darn good, the key to this I believe is eating well meaning healthy foods and definitely keeping yourself hydrated on a daily basis not just the day before or day you go in Comment from : stilltlrforlife

Dude you look white as Casper the friendly ghost 👻 Comment from : Tony Montana

No way could that huge needle ever go in my veins… they use butterflies on me because I am a hard stick ……I also heard that they hire completely inexperienced people to do the sticks and that’s so scary and crazy!!!!! Comment from : Cindy Southern

Everyone should watch "Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: Big Pharma's Blood Plasma Business | Documentary" I volunteer at our local shelter Mathew 25 and have taken a couple of the men to the plasma center They were there all of two hours and received $25 on a prepaid card If they would have had to ride the bus it would have been $6 round trip so $19 Comment from : victorianmelody46

This is October 2022 and I've been donating for the first time I'm almost 60 years old relatively healthy I think I just gave my 7th donation today and we get an average of about over $100 I think they're average about 110 dollars I got one for 130 and today's the smallest one I got from for 95 dollars I don't think I would do it for less than $80 myself but if I need the money I might but it's not that bad I noticed the last two times that I gave I was tired and I just slept all afternoon I like to give in the morning when I'm feeling good my temperature is good my pulse is good I've never been turned away it's kind of nice to see that your irons good to check your iron and they check your blood pressure and your pulse One thing about it is I have not seen any really junky like drug addict people in there so I don't think they let those kind of people donate which is nice I just moved to Ohio so this is this is where I've been donating not far from Dayton in between Dayton and Cincinnati Comment from : Dar Tice

Wow not sure where yr at but that’s pretty low you should be getting at least 50 for each time I stopped going cause I went from 125 to 55 and I just went to another place where it’s 125 so look around for different places it seems low where you are going Comment from : Mike dock

I have a question I haven't heard anyone answer Does taking baby aspirin help when donating plasma?? I had to stop donating because my blood was either clotting or just stopped flowing about halfway through donating, also when getting blood drawn at my doctors office, they find it hard to find a vein and/or while filling one of those small vials, my blood just stops Would taking an baby aspirin help I was donating often, the money was nice, but I mainly did it cause I have a rare blood type and meds made from that plasma saves lots of lives, I am AB-negative I've asked my doctor, she say's "Older people should not donate plasma" I'm only 57 Comment from : TheWolfster001
