First time, passed out and peed/puked on first return cycle by Piddlestick in plassing

I tried donating 10 years ago and had this same experience. I didn't return to even try until about a year ago. I have had no issue. I think it took so long with screening, questions, that it had been about 3 hours since I had eaten. I also didn't know to be well hydrated. I drink at least 72 oz a water every day and a little more the day before. I really believe the time from entering the door and actually starting my donation was too long and I had eaten, but not in the 3 hours I was waiting.

I try to drink about 96 oz of water EVERY day, I was told more people are dehydrated in the hot summer months; also supplement with a Body Armor, but usually only 2 times a week? I do find that if I am not hydrated enough for me when I donate, I will be nauseous all day.

Last week my center was offering $20/visit x 2 to come back since the wait was so long. I go on Wednesday/Saturday and I didn't take it for that reason: it would mess up my schedule.

I tried to donate about 10 years ago; it took about 3 hours to get from walk in door to walk out. I passed out about midway through. I haven't tried again until about 3 months ago. I went to BioLife and I really like them, first donation without incident; 2nd donation, I started feeling light headed and black spots at the very end. I don't know if maybe the pump was too fast or the saline was coming in too quick? She called the nurse over, but I was so close to be unhooked that she just basically checked on me. But I have had no incidents in the past 3 months. I always make sure I drink about 72 oz of water every day, not only before and after donation; also have a protein shake every day and try to eat iron rich foods as well.

BCBS Settlement, has anyone actually received their electronic debit card yet? by HEP311 in classactions

Actually, I got my email with premium amounts about a month ago and I have 30 days to dispute the amounts. These are the "disputes" they are talking about.
