i was never able to donate blood until i reached my 40th year then lo & behold i strolled in one day past the blood tests & i gave my 1st pint of blood, wow was i thrilled & proud of myself that i at last could do something for someone out there who NEEDED what i could give them, i carried on for the next 15yrs & then was told sorry but you can't give anymore because of the medication i was on.........i was gutted to say the least...... but i have had my reward knowing that at least i did try & mabe saved someones life.
