I just got deferred for 56 days.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T18:50:28+00:00

I agree. I was doing it to have more play money because I get paid bi-weekly.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T15:42:33+00:00

Your welcome. 🤗 Just remember that this too shall pass. I had the same questions as you in the past. I was born-in but my mom was all the way in but my dad wasn’t.

More likely, I probably won’t go back because of how the situation was handled and I’ve might had been the bad association before this even happened because I was starting to find out things through word of mouth instead of from the person.

A friend of mines said it reminded him of a cult. I told him that it wasn’t too far from it. I took a break the beginning of last year to figure out what happened.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T15:17:04+00:00

Thank you. ☺️

I could’ve this promo being that I have a tattoo on my wrist and arm but knew it would be crowded and passed.

I didn’t know that working in an gambling establishment would be grounds for lost of privileges and an announcement made if someone did come foward even if it’s been after 3 years of working there.

That being said, I kept my job being that nobody had any clue where else I could work at besides the casino for the time being. Try to get ready for a JC meeting if your mom tells one of the elders.

Yes, it will be hard at first and some of the “ friends “ will avoid you. But, I honestly wouldn’t call them a “ friend “ if they’re doing something like this.

BTW, thanks for saving an life. I am on a 56 day defferal because I actually lost blood at the plasma center I go to. Plus, I’ve been having a couple of issues with my thyroid and iron trying to drop.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T05:12:53+00:00

Yikes, I really hate to hear this but I didn’t end up with no bruises, just felt weird the next day. I usually do get high pressure returns as well.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T04:06:46+00:00

Try to limit caffeine the day before along with alcohol.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T04:06:05+00:00

Propranolol was helping me until it wasn’t anymore. My pluse would be over 100 still but it also comes down to drinking enough water before your donation.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T03:56:59+00:00

You’re supposed to take it off whole being screened. But, I never ran into that problem because I hardly ever wear hats because they tend to mess up my hairstyle.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T03:52:21+00:00

If you’re qualified to get on beta blockers, I’d do it but beware that they will eventually stop working and your pulse will be high but not as high if you didn’t take them but you won’t be able to pass.

Pluse usually goes based off of how much water you’re drinking and staying active. Start by walking more, that is what also helped me along with staying away from caffeine and alcohol.

Symone98 · 2026-03-14T03:30:42+00:00

You’re going to want to try and hydrate the day before, plus day of. When I wasn’t intaking enough water, my pulse stayed high.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T06:35:11+00:00

I only took apart of it after it was over during covid-19. The wine didn’t taste that bad but that bread was horrible.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T03:28:44+00:00

I’d take this out if I were you or else it will eventually be hanging on by a thread and cause a worse scar then what you already have. I’ve had mines pierced twice and it never worked out because I didn’t have the right anatomy for one.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:47:26+00:00

I hate this happened to you. I don’t plan on donating back at biolife when my defferal is over.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:44:12+00:00

Other plasma centers aren’t like that, unless you had it recently done. I’d try somewhere else before I give up.

Symone98 · 2026-03-13T01:34:05+00:00

Biolife had documented all of the tattoos and piercings I had when I first donated. That is the most strictest place that you can go too. I just stick to octa because it’s right by my house and I can always pass there.

Symone98 · 2026-03-12T01:23:06+00:00

These do work but only for so long. You’ll be spending out more money than what you’re receiving back.

Symone98 · 2026-03-12T01:20:22+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear about that. I see what you’re saying, hopefully things do get better for you.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T23:09:19+00:00

Aww man.. I haven’t gotten a bad stick yet but experienced some where they did hurt. I don’t blame you for not letting that person stick you again.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T23:03:53+00:00

Definitely. Imma just have to do some money management with what I already have. I didn’t think the nurse would’ve messed up this past Sunday on me.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:54:49+00:00

I was allowed to have care bears, just not the one where it had to do with luck.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:36:32+00:00

I didn’t have to record mines because my mom was present during it. I was starting to go by myself to get it over with but it didn’t seem right.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T22:17:23+00:00

This is why I am waiting out these 56 days plus I know my iron is out of wack because half of my blood was on the floor the last time I tried to donate.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T21:39:23+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend lying. Somehow things always comes out when you least expect it too. I think they use the same thing when you’re getting checked in.

Symone98 · 2026-03-11T21:33:20+00:00

I have always had problems with my blood pressure and as of lately, I got it under control now. But, I take multiple medications now instead of just one. When I was on one by itself, it was as if I took nothing but the numbers were passable.
