detectivemonkey posted:Anemia sucks so even if it's not blood donation related it's good to keep your iron up. Yeah I know it's a ridiculous rule, they screen blood anyway. The last blood test I had indicated low iron so of course I worry excessively about it but maybe it was just a fluke.  stimulated emission posted:i wanted to sign up for that marrow donation site but they dont like the particular flavor of sadbrains that was once my main diagnosis, and since its on paper in my medical records im screwed i suppose Woah they screen for mental health stuff? Just looked it up and it doesn't seem like there's a legit medical reason for that, especially if it's not your actual, final diagnosis. But yeah once you've gotten a lovely misdiagnosis it's hard to get rid of it in the world of psychology.

LOU BEGAS MUSTACHE posted:i just thought the answer was really funny because most of the other questions on the page are answer with "if you did x yea you can give blood" or "nah you cant" but if you kissed a boy you get a thesis I had to search for quite a while to get maybe a year?

AriadneThread posted:I faint just getting a blood test done, I haven't tried my luck with donating. Is it a needle phobia or are you a tough stick? I HATE needles and am a super tough stick but when I've donated, it's not been too bad - it usually goes pretty quickly and as long as you don't look over at the bag if you're squeamish, it's ok. Plus somehow the mentality makes it less frustrating, "I'm doing this because donating blood" is a lot nicer than "ugh blood tests again"

detectivemonkey posted:I will buy your diet book. Breakfast: shoplifted Vivarin and old school Dexatrim from before when they took out the stuff that gives you heart attacks. Mid-morning snack: Vivarin Lunch: Diet Coke Mid-afternoon snack: Vivarin Dinner: one cup of Lucky Charms. Pick out the marshmallow treats and save them for dessert. Friday and Saturday splurges: get wasted on sangria or Boone's Farm, spend the early morning puking. Immediately hop on the scale to record lowest weight of the day. I had a problematic relationship with food.

Avshalom posted:shoo, i have a cold and i'm not in my right mind Yeah  for feeling out of it As much as I appreciate anyone posting jokes in the parenting thread, sleep deprived new parents might be overeager to hit the report button. It's probably better to avoid looking in serious forums when you're feeling weird, the same way that you shouldn't go grocery shopping when you're hungry or you'll end up with a ton of unhealthy poo poo. I don't know if that comparison works but my brain is broken so I'll leave it.

I am glad you have combatted those feelings through cat ownership and construction projects <3 Also glad to know that one can survive on Lucky Charms alone. You should tell parenting thread, I'm sure that will allay many of their fears.

stimulated emission posted:just a specific set of illnesses, not like the entirety of the sadbrains spectrum Yeah I saw that it was only a particular subset but they didn't cite a reason on the site I was on. I'm really interested to hear that it has an effect on the bone marrow though! I've never heard of that before and I'm very curious about it, but I'm glad to hear it's not totally arbitrary. Tora your high school diet sounds awful, but at least Lucky Charms have a very limited nutritional value?

Also, I've had trouble with work a couple of times 'forgetting' to let me take my meal and then I start getting dizzy and/or loopy. It's actually been years since I've been to the doctor, I keep meaning to make an appointment but it always seems like more important stuff comes up first I'll keep that in mind though, you're right. It's certainly a lot more positive a cause

I can't give blood because I weigh 100 lbs. Also, I am terrified of needles. Both of these things make me unable to donate blood.

That was only after I started hanging out with the "cool" kids. Before I was always kinda chubby and ate mostly frozen chimichangas and Cranapple but I wanted to be cool sooooooo badly. I lost 30 pounds the summer before 11th grade and I was so happy  . It's scary how much time I spent obsessing about diet and I don't think I was that different from a lot of women. I think many American women have such a messed up relationship with food. (tho' to be honest, I think it was harder in the 80s and 90s 'cause we were told not to eat fat and to load up on carbs so of course we were hungry all the time)

Also, I've had trouble with work a couple of times 'forgetting' to let me take my meal and then I start getting dizzy and/or loopy. Tough stick just as in it's hard to get a needle in. I have tiny little veins that they just can't get into because they jump around, so when I've had blood tests done it's always drawn from my hand.

detectivemonkey posted:I am glad you have combatted those feelings through cat ownership and construction projects <3  Yeah, if nothing else, like I mentioned, that's the only time I've ever been able to give blood so I guess the iron fortification works. I've never been able to donate since, even when I'm on supplements.

I lasted 24 hours, max. I don't know what pizza roll sticks you are referring to but that sounds awful. I ate a frightening quantity of Easter chocolate last week but it was a nice reminder that I usually eat a lot healthier. I hope it's not possible to give yourself diabetes in like three days though because I ate a lot of mini milky way midnight bars.

I think Ozma just means sometimes people's veins aren't on display like a peacock looking for love and have to be jabbed at aimlessly for a while. Blood donation is not fun for them. I can think of zero things more important that you getting to a doctor annually-ish. Do it for ladythread. E: Ya, what Ozma clarified as I was typing. That.

amarantinesky posted:I imagine having a full stomach and iron-rich food could help with donation even if it's just psychological. It's kind of cool that you get gift certificates though, even though I think that you aren't allowed to be paid for donations and that's kind of repaying you. been feeling poo poo most of this last week and especially today just went for a walk out of the blue at like 4am. feeling pretty good atm

Blood donation is not fun for them. Idk I can think of things more important than going to the doctor but if you can afford it, you should probably go. Skipping a few years in your early 20s is typically fine but you could always have something go wrong so you shouldn't take that chance. Of course I say this as someone who is reluctant to go but I'm basically a ball of anxiety atm so uhh do as I say, not as I do.
