Christina, you mention fluish symptoms/feeling like getting hit by a truck. Should I call anyone if I'm feeling this way? I feel warm, really tired, sore, headache. |
They SAY that if you're feeling really crappy to call the blood donation place and say as such, since you might be sick and we don't want that stuff being passed along to a donor. But it was your first time donating, so it's normal for your body to be all like WHERE THE HECK IS MY BLOOD?!? and then to feel icky.
I had a nasty bruise the first time I donated on top of almost passing out... I then went home to bed. Still felt off the next day, but was better the day after. It takes a while for your body to reproduce red blood cells (which is what carries oxygen in your body) and white blood cells (which help fight diseases/illness) so yeah.
