Has anybody donated blood and how long does it take and do you feel dizzy after? I would love to give blood I'm healthy male but can't as not allowed as I'm bent as a ten Bob note! I'm not a fan of needles but nice to help somebody in need!

I agree it's a sorry state of affairs that you can't give blood. My life was saved by receiving donated blood which means that sadly I'm not allowed to donate now either x
I thought they changed the rules on this?
I have donated, but when my doc found out he told me off as it turned out I was anemic. I'm ok now but still can't as I've had tattoos too recently.
It's not painful at all and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I could. I wasn't dizzy at all afterwards.
They changed it so that if you haven't had sex in a year you can.

I have ME and in 2010 they banned people giving blood with ME, I'm a donor though. X
Excuse my dumbness lol what's ME? X
My daughter lost a friend in a car crash some years ago. She felt so helpless that she decided to give blood. I felt compelled to go with her. We have now been donating for some years quite regularly. My other daughter started donating as soon as she was old enough. My eldest daughter rushed to work after her second donation and passed out over the pub dishwasher. We now donate then get fish and chips and put our feet up. My husband looks after us all. He is needle phobic so we all do our bit.
I often go really woozy straight after donating but that lasts about 5 minutes. A custard cream and I'm right as rain!
The first time we donated there were a couple of lads from my daughters school in front of us. Probably there for the same reason. Young people get such a bad press and yet so many of them are so brilliant!
And Stewie, the expression is "bent as a nine bob note" lol

They won't have my gay blood, but they'll happily harvest my blood riddled organs as a donor!!
