Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I've been donating blood on a regular basis until a few months ago when I became extremely anemic. Started taking iron carbonyl and in the beginning that didn't work. Found I had a few tiny GI bleeds and had them fixed and along with the iron, my blood count has come up to within the normal range. (something had to go right this year) : ). Right now I'm not donating any blood for obvious reasons. I also have the universal blood type and am CMV negative, so am saving what I have for when my friend's son Ricky needs blood or platelets. The rest of the population is going to have to wait on getting anything from me for awhile. I'm sure they'll understand. There is a little child involved. Next month I will be three years out and I started donating about 9 months to a year after my revision in 5/00 with no ill effects. Good luck to you.
