No fibs here. Never said it was painless, just similar to having blood drawn for a blood test. I'll agree it depends on the nurse too; but then I feel that way when I have my blood tests done; there are some staff who I won't let near me. A lot of the after effects are psychological. Each time gets easier and easier.
Good for you, frog.
Love, Blondie
I don't know if I could give blood - not because of the needles or anything, still think a bit of the old way of thinking is still engraved in my brain...will take some time before I can do that. But well well done !!!! it is a huge step, shows you've left the whole lot behind you.
Congrats there frogamus! I think thats more a milestone, than say like voting, for an exdub.
Wonder if they’d DF someone for giving blood too, hmm, they would!
Yes Barry Adams was DF for giving blood for his best friend after an accident....
Good for you Frog to see you hopped to it....
Well done froggy ... i think i'm a long way off from that, not because of JW stuff but because i hate all needles, BIG or small . I always cry when i get vaccinations or blood tests, and i mean ALWAYS... so i try not to go there at all... congrats on passing another mental barrier...
... btw, have you had your tattoo done yet?

Heya hun I have just Pm you bout donating blood\tattoos Speak soon es
Hey, frog, good for you! I gave blood once a few years ago and had virtually no discomfort. I was quite surprised to hear you had such a tough time. How much do you weigh? Here in the US you have to weigh at least 100 lbs. (just over 45 kilos, 8 1/2 stone) to give blood.
I'd donate more often, but my sex life is a little too exotic for the Red Cross. I'm very careful and still test negative for those germs, but I still gotta face that damn questionnaire.

Well done Frog !!
The Blood Transfusion Service actually come to my office building twice a year. I wanted to give, it it could be done discreetly. But they said that I would go on the mailing list for updates and reminders and they could not stop that. If I got mail with the NBTS logo, then I guess the secret would be out.
I decided it was not worth a divorce... one day though....
