We are having a drive here in my retirement community. When I checked the online restrictions it listed having visited an area with malaria as a factor that prevents me donating. I am bummed. Needles don't bother me a bit and I'd like to do something to help.

What’s the best way to find a place to donate? Seems everything has been canceled and I don’t see anywhere I can donate. I’ve got O-, so I’m sure they want it! Last edited by spazzyfry123; 04-02-2020 at 09:01 PM.. |

Thanks! I see FSU in your name, so I take it you’re nearby. I’m in Leon county. I’ll give them a call; the online registration says the banks are full and to push out almost two weeks from now which didn’t seem right.

I had a fever for 2 days. I am anxious to see if I have the COVID-19 antibodies. I will immediately go in to give platelets. |

I've been donating a few times a year for decades. I walked into my local Red Cross donation center last week and they usually accommodate walk ins. They were too busy at that time and because of the circumstances I can understand that. Went home and made an appointment online. They were booked over 3 weeks out and I scheduled an appointment towards the end of April I guess they must be limiting the number of people at any time inside the donation center.

I've always wanted, but because I'm insulin-dependent, they won't take for fear of me having an issue. I figure IF I planned it right, I could go in with a blood sugar around 300, and then the recipient would get an extra boost!
My oldest, the nurse, gives a lot of Christmas presents from all the movie tix, etc he gets for donating. |

OK, done!
We had to go to Manhattan to give, & went by BMW Express because I'm sort of scared of the subway now. It was morning rush, & I could drive 60mph easy over the Brklyn Bridge & up the FDR Drive. Very few parking rules. "We have a Double Red here!" They took twice the red cells from me, but gave back my white cells, which I thought was nice. You can watch the red go out the tube, then the white go back in; cool. It didn't hurt, they hit me first poke, no probs. Murf |

FWIW, I donate regularly as a matter of course and will continue to do so and help my fellow Americans however I can.

You should probably listen to your doctor (but feel free to discuss with him)! Murf |

Mom used to wish for a cow in the backyard, and to this day just I and son drink (milk), but I walk to the corner store about every 36 hours for another gallon. Once I found Mag, no more cramps!!!! YMMV |
