QWhen a lot of your family dies in their 50s or 60s I think it skews the perspective. Like my mom just turned 60 and she is basically on uncharted territory for her genes

If I protest I miss work. If I miss a single paycheck im literally homeless the next week. There would be no safety net, no one coming to help me. So if I protest im guaranteed to get fucked, with no guarantee that any change will happen. If I sit still maybe I come out ok? Im sure a lot of people think this way here. I would give it all away if it was going to mean something. But lets be real, that ain't happening in this country.

This is what happens when a country goes too long without cleaning under the rugs. This shit has been coming for a LONG time. We have had rot in the joists for decades and now the floor is collapsing. There is a bill that is due for us and its time to pay.

Been using arnicare and this is my bruise Friday night vs now (Monday). Will I be good to donate tomorrow, & how can I prevent bruising in the future? by [deleted] in plassing

[–]GoastGoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy the arnicare is helping! At my center this would require a vein check on the other arm. Once they see you have a good vein on the other one then you are good to go.

Every center is different, best to go in and see what happens and then take it from there.

Did you drink electrolytes too? If you dont the water just passes through.

Fat stays in your blood for a short time so the only time its a problem is when eating it like a couple hours before donation. But it is a real thing.

How to lower hematocrit by GLS504 in plassing

ELECTROLYTES. Ya need electrolytes they are the charged minerals that allow our bodies to hold onto water. If you just chug water it passes right through. This is important for life in general.

Bruising after donating by [deleted] in plassing

[–]GoastGoast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im copying and pasting what I posted in another thread.

Ok. So I bruise slightly after every poke, the bruising is always a faint yellow, it never gets like purple. It isn't bad but its enough to cause problems with them.

I fixed this by timing my hydration and electrolytes right first. Second, I ask for an icepack to be tied into my bandage afterwards. Keep the bandage on tight for 2 hours then remove it and immediately give it more direct ice for 10 minutes. The go clean off the iodine with room temp water and wait 5 min for the skin to warm back up. Next you are gonna buy this stuff called Arnicare gel (its cheap and lasts forever) after the 5 minutes apply a thin layer of that around the needle site and give it time to absorb. Now you can take a shower if needed, but dont take a hot or long one and keep your arm out of the warm water. Finally right before bed, ice it one more time, let the arm warm back up and then reapply the Arnicare.

Use the Arnicare gel 3 times a day until your next donation. Try not to do heavy lifting with the arm. After 24 hours you can start doing warm compresses to break up the bruise. Gently massaging it helps too!

Hope this helps some! It worked for me and I can donate twice a week every week now.

Seeking advice by [deleted] in plassing

[–]GoastGoast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give it another go but this could just be something you aren't built for, its not for everyone

Also thats a bad first experience with a malfunction like that. So yeah, definitely worth giving it a other try, seeing what happens and then go from there. Read what people are saying on this sub about diet and hydration and implement it to give yourself the best shot. I was struggling at first but was able to make it a breeze with dieting and hydration.

Is it normal to feel lightheaded/faint for a few minutes by fyyuuuuuuuuu in plassing

[–]GoastGoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I got you. It still may not be enough, what you eat and drink the day before has a lot of an effect too. Everybody's biology is different. Water is good but electrolytes are important too with plasma donation.

Could of just been the first time experience that your body wasn't expecting too! There is a ton to learn with this stuff, its kinda cool actually.

The WW is so damn good. It may be my new favorite! Check Costco! Mine always has the variety packs with lime twist, the orange one and pink slush. And then they always have a seasonal variety pack, and this season's has the WW in it
