Hey great details here Jess. I'm not a runner so that's not a factor, but I'm older! I have recently donated my 78th pint and have rarely had any issues. Summer time I have to really-really make sure that I have had enough water during the day as I do tend to dehydrate in the summer. Also my iron level was too low a few years ago for some reason, but that was a one off. Informative video again, cheers, Warren :)
78 donations is incredible! I've reached my fifth donation credit but just three successful donations out of the ones I've done. I'm hoping that now we've worked out which vein plays ball it should be smooth sailing from now on 🤞
I love how this popped up on my phone as I was sat in the waiting room of the donation centre. Too late for me to heed any advice at the time though I watched the video when I got home and listened to my body next day when it said it didn't fancy the Friday run.
Good on you for persevering with the donations, and spreading your knowledge. You're no doubt helping people in desperate need 👏👍
Thanks Mark!
wow i didn't know any of this

A wise decision. Hope the donation went well!
