Man , I can't even explain how much better I feel...its like I had been really sick for a while and within a few hours completely better. Doing the double reds felt strange, not like a regular donation. They pump saline back into you. You get a little cold and my lips started to tingle. It takes quite a bit longer than regular donation also. 10 mins compared to just over an hour. Totally worth it though.How was it donating double Reds? I am sure you are feeling great. Your blood isn’t like motor oil now. It crazy how quickly it gets out of control.
I usually do whole blood, but maybe this time I’ll try double reds. I actually need to go donate soon. Last time was June.
So a local body builder died a few years ago from this very thing. He never donated or did really any preventative care.
