I tried giving blood

but was sent away because I have MS. It sucks because my blood type is O positive.

Do you think that such a rule about blood donation from people with MS is necessary? Has your blood been refused for donation because of your impairment, in the same way as me?

I want your thoughts.

That's insane! I think the blood bank people are idiots. I had a TB test once a week before I tried to donate blood and they wouldn't take it. And I thought they were nurses? Idiots. Sorry about that K.

Last (and probably last here in Tennessee) time I gave blood here it looked like they whacked my arm open with a hatchet to get the blood.

Fun

I cant give blood b/c I lived in Europe. They think I could have MAD COW! LOL - I probably do ;)
