Thanks for your donations bro! 😂💜

For fairly obvious reasons, this is not a variable I’ve ever considered when donating. Does it take you out for long? My body doesn’t even notice the 500ml. I literally walked from the donation centre back the office, got changed and rode straight home.

I was off colour for a few days before I got the iron tablets - severe lethargy and extreme brain fog. Couldn’t really formulate sentences quickly or coherently. Like I was laggy lol.
I felt much better after taking the iron tablets - it was just poor timing!
When Ive given blood before that, and it didn’t align with my period, I was fine too tbh
