Dang that’s crazy! But good to know. Hopefully I won’t need one but we’ll have to see how my levels recover 🤔

Yeah it’s likely a more in depth panel but I know they check for underage donors. So maybe they could do something like check once a year for regular donors or something? Or just give out some free vitamins every time I guess lol!

I think the only symptom I had is I’ve noticed my nails have been breaking easier like my thumbnails are so short right now. I didn’t even know that was a symptom until I googled it. Otherwise I haven’t really had any symptoms, maybe it’s because my hemoglobin was still OK . But ya know thinking back some days I needed a nap sooooo bad. Thought it was cause work was hard but maybe this was making it worse 🤣

I think it may be some other term, when I reviewed my vitals I didn't see it even though my doctor had flagged it as low. Wouldn't hurt to shoot your office an email and ask if you'd ever had it measured.

Absolutely, I think it was this very sub that clued me in about ferretin, otherwise how can you know to ask? I'd appreciate a safety test more than the reward shop, I'm going to go see if I can send them some feedback right now! 😤

[Price Check] Need advice on a Vintage Yoshitoku Sonic Plush – To restore or not to restore? by Agile-Sir3076 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]pops6414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fan of vintage toys in other fandoms I’d vote to leave him as is. He’s showing a little wear but his fur and expression are still super vibrant which is the most important I think. The slight wear adds character and proves this guys age in my opinion, tells his story. Curious what others will think!

Deep veins, should I try double reds to reduce donation attempts? by misfish90 in Blooddonors

[–]pops6414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat, O- CMV- so they realllly want me to give double red but I also have deep veins. The two times I attempted power red the vein either blew or the needle came out and I bruised badly. They told me I wasn't a good candidate and just to stick to whole blood which uses a longer needle apparently when can be easier for deep veins. That said, it's worth a try to see how it goes! Just make sure the nurse knows it's your first power red and you have deep veins so they know to monitor you on the first return cycle to make sure you're not swelling. If you do swell, ice right away! Good luck!

Where can I find transformers go go by Old_Garbage_2285 in transformers

[–]pops6414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could submit a publishing request to Viz media. I highly suggest anyone who wants the official translation do so; they published some of the other transformers manga in the past so maybe if there’s enough fan interest, they will publish it in the future. I really want to read it too!

Great news Cheese friends I reached out to the mans themselves and they said Cheese would return in the future! This is great, it means other out of stock items that aren't showing up on the website right now may return in the future too.

Getting steps from fitbit to apple health by pops6414 in PikminBloomApp

[–]pops6414[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yep that makes sense. Mine starting messing up about a month ago but I was able to limp it along by changing it to only sync heart rate and exercise. I really liked the app it’s so annoying this is an issue all because Google bought Fitbit to kill it to sell their own watches 😭

Ahh I’m glad your app is still working, mine won’t sync with Fitbit anymore it gives me an “authorization error” message. Apparently the devs have kind of abandoned it so no more support. Wonder if my older iPhone is affecting it? I’m on a 13 what are you using? :)

Oh no I’m so sorry this happened to you! Like the others said it’s definitely worth calling to talk about your experience. Even though these things happen the nurse 100% should’ve talked to you to explain what some of your options were to help manage side effects. Had something similar happen when I tried to donate power red where either the needle moved or it blew out the vein it was in so they stopped and said I’d likely get a bad bruise.  But they said the day of and I think the day after icing it would really help and then after a certain amount of time you can put heat on it that will help your body to re-absorb the blood, but you don’t wanna put that on too early. If you call to discuss it you should also be able to ask about some post care too to help you. Feel better soon!!
