A question for blood donors??
Question: Have you ever went to donate blood and after numerous pokes with the needle still no blood came out? Is this bad?
Answers: Yes, I've had this happen once (I've donated over 5 gallons of blood in my lifetime). It was pretty painful, but I finally found out that it was because I was very cold. My veins had retreated further into my body, trying to keep warm.
The nurse should stop after a few pokes, because they can give you big bruises or worse if they don't. In general, I prefer giving blood vs. having blood taken for tests, becuase the nurses at the blood bank seem to be gentler.
The nurse you had shoulds choose another occupation... its nothing about you.. just her/him
I have never not been able to give bllod, but someitmes I have switched arms. It isn't bad.
it just means that your veins are not as close to the surface or visible as some peoples are. it takes more tries to find your vein is all.
i am not able to give blood i am 22 and weigh less than 105 ibs.!!
