      aft’noon all

      i’m just about to register to give blood, but i’m unsure about some things

      1. how will the fact i take drugs (inc. alcohol) effect this? i don’t want to endanger someones life rather than save it!
      2. if i ask the people at the donation thing, i wouldn’t suffer and sort of legal action by saying i take drugs would i?

      cheers,
      boothy

            There are so many reasons that they can turn you away… be honest about your drug taking because yes it could still be in your blood…

            I cant give blood because in 2000 I had a blood transfusion…
            I would think that as a regular or habitual drug user would make you not able to give…

            sorry!

                    I was told it takes about 5 days for you body’s blood to completely renew itself. …I’m not sure how accurate that is.

                    About 4 years ago I gave blood on a Tuesday afternoon after a Saturday night on pills. …I still felt pretty good. I didn’t say anything to anyone. I guess it was all good.

                      Yeah that’s the problem though. I’ll make sure I ask. Even if I feel good, I don’t want traces of drugs given to some who is critically ill!!!

                        Boothy, let us know what they say please, I’d like to know if I can give too!

                        I can’t see it being a big problem tho, Im pretty sure you can still drink alcohol and give blood, which is a still drug… I bet that theres not really enough traces in that pint or so they take from you to effect anyone receiving it.

                            its only blood borne diseases the NHS are concerned about

                            unless any of you inject there aren’t any risks with giving blood

                            fair play to everyone for being considerate though, I hope when “frank” and his friends at NHS IT department read this (yes I KNOW you are watching) they take note and realise we aren’t all inconsiderate junkie scum..

                                I’ve given blood a few times. As long as you’ve never used needles (which is fucking stupid anyway), haven’t had a tatoo recently, you should be ok.

                                It’s also good as they screen all donations, so any probs will show up and they’ll tell you about it so you can get help. (i.e. any sexual diseases- god forbid!).

                                Do it, it’s important and a nice feeling to do something positive.

                                  Well I asked, just to be sure, the nurse said it wasn’t a problem as long as I hadn’t used any of the drugs I listed within the past week. She even said it with a smile and a wink :laugh_at:
