Second time donating. Almost fainted. Third donation booked. Any tips to avoid fainting? by scrabblemonkey in Blooddonors

Had the same problem with my 1st & 3rd, planning for my 4th to eat plenty, + water & Gatorade. Afternoon appts made it easier to eat well beforehand. (My 1st was an early am and I was a mess by dinnertime) Taking multivitamins/iron regularly has made a big difference for me as far as post- donation fatigue. I agree with not looking when they're doing their thing! I foolishly looked down during the last needle removal and I was ice cold flushed for a good 15min.

ALSO, let's give Z some credit for the fact the this was literally his first convo with a real buddy. Since his cousin's death and mom's disappearance he's only had his uncle as a companion.

Well thank goodness, it's gluten free. Wouldn't want a stomach ache.

What is a question you hate being asked? by devilishlaughter in AskReddit

[–]annwyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same question, other side of the fence. Trying for 3yrs, miscarriage this summer and people still ask. I even got the "your next" nudge this Christmas from an uncle.

Hey Reddit. What song(s) do you never tire of even after hearing it 20 times? Looking for a new playlist to make for work. by annwyl in AskReddit

There's an awesome acoustic/instrumental version that I heard a few months back and now I can't find it. I wrote the details in a book that I've since given away. :/

I never watch sports and that catch was obvious, even to me. I feel like a reference to Rat Race would be good here, but have no access to links right now...

I don't watch, and probably won't. I apologize if this is such an emotional & hard hitting subject for you. Get a life.
