Donate or blood dump

[Beethoven]

Just to update, gave blood today.(dump bc I was in Europe during a time where there was a "mad cow" type disease and can't use it). Well my doc gave a script and they took it. (For therapeutic ). BP came down and generally feel great.

glad your doc gave you script, most docs look the other way. yes that's how I feel after donating too.

I'm just disappointed that mine isn't going to benefit anyone else, now that I will probably have to do it periodically. My Doc was all over it, I didn't have to wait for my follow up, he called as soon as he got the BW and told me to go.

How long do you think before they can start using your blood after being oversees?

[Beethoven]

Until they develop a test for creutzfeldt jacob disease antibodies. Until then I need a script from the Doc.

Maybe you could save some for yourself, just in case?

I've herd people giving blood to lower rbc count from long term aas use.... Is this what you are using the blood dumping for???

Yes but doing alas for "cycle" purposes although I would imagine they have to do it also being that they are using at much higher doses than trt.

This was my first, but then my other Doc previously wasn't testing me as often nor was I doing it all the time. This Doc has me doing BW every two months or so. It will be on an as needed basis depending on BW. ( being that mine is a "therapeutic" dump)
