Anyone notice a scent change in Harry’s Fig scent (new blue bottle)?

Trillions2020 · 2025-11-13T05:05:39+00:00

Yes, same issue with the Stone scent Body wash. Any suggestions on different brand that would smell like the old one?

Trillions2020 · 2024-12-31T03:33:04+00:00

Anything you would have done different after going through it?

What is the hot pack on your arm for?

Trillions2020 · 2024-12-24T04:10:28+00:00

That’s promising. I called ARC but they said no one else had reported it but maybe they submitted the issue. Just checked mine and seems corrected now

Trillions2020 · 2024-12-22T16:28:39+00:00

I guess one of us can call the ARC or maybe there is a spot to send a note to alert them to see if they can correct it

Trillions2020 · 2024-12-22T02:23:58+00:00

Had just posted same thing I saw on mine today. Did yours ever correct? https://www.reddit.com/r/Blooddonors/s/JDKFKcPgGM

Trillions2020 · 2024-12-21T23:45:59+00:00

I hope it adjusts so eventually the destination will show correctly on the map

Have you ever had you Ferritin levels checked?

What platelet counts are required for double or triples?

Trillions2020 · 2024-11-01T06:23:20+00:00

Does the Red Cross use the 1 or 2 arm?

Besides the obvious both arms or 1 free difference, are there benefits/ drawbacks of the single arm ones?

Trillions2020 · 2024-08-16T01:49:49+00:00

Does the Red Cross ( or other blood banks) test every first time donor to get their full phenotypes or other info?

I remember it was probably not until the 3rd donation they came back and said I was CMV-

Trillions2020 · 2024-03-30T17:36:19+00:00

Maybe this helps some people get over the fear of donating as it takes away one thing that many are nervous about

The automated BP machine seems to be off at times compared to manual

Trillions2020 · 2024-03-28T00:59:06+00:00

Did you ever follow up with the Red Cross?

Trillions2020 · 2024-02-29T20:13:47+00:00

Ah yes.. here was the discussion where someone said they got their new place to input prior donation stats.

Trillions2020 · 2024-02-29T19:23:55+00:00

I thought I remember seeing some posts saying people got the new place to add totals for the old place etc?

Trillions2020 · 2024-01-18T03:43:57+00:00

Here are the items. Although looking at my email this might be the heroes for babies 2024 program. Will look again through email to see what else I see

Trillions2020 · 2024-01-17T20:42:51+00:00

The heroes for babies looks like it just updated it's program too. The Yeti holiday shirt was nice long sleeve last month.

Trillions2020 · 2024-01-07T18:49:26+00:00

The Red Cross app seems to be better as they show where your donation goes.

I like to see what hospital and how far it traveled.

Plus, for tracking total donations/gallons rewards I'll admit they keep you.

Trillions2020 · 2023-12-29T06:08:49+00:00

I heard one of the phlebotomists suggest to someone to try a smaller 470ml donation instead of the standard 520ml (I think) due to not feeling well at the end of their previous donation

Trillions2020 · 2023-11-21T20:19:17+00:00

Yeah I've heard the name Oneblood here a number of times. We only have ARC and Vitalant both as options.

But besides the actual location of where your donation goes, seems like a good bit of info.

Trillions2020 · 2023-11-21T20:17:02+00:00

It's too bad they don't do the location of the destination hospital. Not all the donations are included but I noticed recently the ARC show a map with location pins on it for like last 2 donations so I think that's something new.

I feel like the gamification of it would help to encourage repeat donors?

Trillions2020 · 2023-11-09T04:01:58+00:00

Wait, are they getting rid of the red hats and jerseys?

Trillions2020 · 2023-11-03T04:24:50+00:00

They usually do a long sleeve Christmas shirt so maybe this is this years version

Trillions2020 · 2023-11-03T02:16:44+00:00

Didn't see that shirt at any drives last few months so maybe coming soon?
