[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 6509808, member: 70166"] Well I learned something today. Some people aren't suited for giving blood and I might be one of them. Was fine till right at the end and then went a bit light headed and turned white I'm told. Had to sit down for ages before they would let me leave :sorry: Really nice nurse doing the needling was a farmers wife and was telling me I probably should eat something before going as well as not overdoing it right before going like I did because I was in a hurry to finish and get there on time. Apparently being tired and not eating for hours while doing a physical job before going can make light headedness worse because it lowers your blood sugars. No one told me that :sorry: So now I have one more go at it and if it happens again I won't be allowed to give again. Was advised not to go when I'm tired or been working too hard that day. And to make sure I've eaten and drank plenty before going. So that's 4 things I didn't do very well today that could have caused it or at least made it worse. Will try again and see how it goes. Would be pretty annoyed with myself if I won't be allowed to do it anymore :poop::( [/QUOTE]
