[@megorra]

Wow. I gave blood yesterday, about the 23rd time for me, and I didn't realise there was so much involved. I only recently discovered my own blood is quite rare - Neo R1R1 - meaning it's primarily given to newborn babies and infants because of it does not harbour the Herpes Virus which can be very dangerous to small ones. As if that's not cool enough, I walk out of there knowing I'm saving lives for just an hour of my time every three months. Please give blood. It doesn't hurt. It's not scary. You are being a hero. And you'll feel very happy about what you are doing.

@@Lauren-vt2co are there any side effects Lauren?

[@Lauren-vt2co]

@@hopesidea Hi, in my experience there were never unpleasant side effects, however, following donation you may feel a little lightheaded, weak, or nauseous as your body adjusts to losing blood. After donation, you typically sit down and have a drink or biscuit to make sure you feel well and can leave the site safely. It's advised to just take it easy and keep up with fluids following donation and this is generally enough to keep you in good health. It's perfectly normal and safe, and the body can replenish the blood with no problems. Hope this helps!

I donated blood for the first time two days ago, I'm 17 so only now could start I'm absolutely terrified of needles and was dreading it. They were so nice and patient. I barely felt the needle going in and the worse part was the tape XD. it took an entire 15 minutes for me as it just wasn't filling up very fast, that 15 minutes flew by. The nurses kept coming over and checking on me and there was music in the background just it wasn't like going into a hospital with the smell and the feeling (I think that's what stresses me out). I did feel woozy when I got lifted back up but that happens to me all the time. The nurses were so nice they just lowered me back down and put an ice pack on my forehead and kept talking to me. Eventually I was alright and I just had to eat some biscuits and a drink before I could go. I'm definitely going to donate for as long as it is possible for me. I think the youngest person there besides me donating was in their late 30s. I think more young people should do it, if I can spare a pint of my blood in order to help someone else I am going to carry on doing it and so should others

[@nazrulislam-ol8wt]

Life of the blood depends on what components you talking about. Because it gets separated as you can see on the video , if you talking about red blood cell then it can be used upto aprox 42 days , platelets have short life of 5 days only. And fresh frozen plasma can be used upto one year ( this component is not cellular therefore have long life ) and yes you can store your blood and use it. People do that for surgery when they store their blood prior to surgery and then they eat well and exercise to produce blood again and go for surgery ,with the extra blood of their own body .it's called autologous transfusion

They wouldn't just squirt your blood back in you because the blood now contains an anticoagulant that's in the bag you donate into. I've not had this confirmed but I highly doubt they will.

[@SilverDomUK]

It all depends on your veins to be honest. It really doesn't hurt as much as you think it would, it's more like the feeling of a scratch for a couple of seconds. I think it depends on the size of your veins and your blood pressure as to how easily the needle goes in. Once it is in you can barely feel it. The best bit is after you have given, I get a warm fuzzy feeling that i could potentially be saving someones life! My advice would be to sign up online, book an appointment and go donate. The staff are always really nice, if you explain you are worried they will explain everything.
