Signs you need to donate blood? Bonaparte

[Bonaparte]

Do frequent nosebleeds have anything to do with taking aas or needing to donate?

Someone on here mentioned nosebleeds and I was just following up on it.

Yeah, that's generally a sign of hypertension, which could be caused in part by polycemia. It could also just mean that you need BP meds and/or that the steroids are interfering in blood clotting (Tbol does this).

Bonaparte do you have an answer for this

im worried about virus's which you bet your sweet as can and WILL be transferred via PRBC transfusions.

if you ring up red cross, anonymously and ask to speak to someone, casually mention how you like to inject drugs of unknown quality/sterility and they will list you the exact same reasons that i did.

and anyone whos thinking "brah i had a std screen last year all clear" even if your Dr screened for all the hepatitis's (they wouldn't have) HIV can take up to 6 months before you can confirm a negative.

again, maybe if your wife, nicked an artery in her finger on day while cooking, rushing into hospital, simple suture fix but requires 2 bags of blood... 6 months later finds out shes contracted Hepatitis C from the blood transfusion (p.s. she signed a consent form which basically nullifies any legal action), then you would probably see my point.


if you think the red cross, combined with the world health organizations criteria for donating blood, can be surpassed by the brilliance of the people using our steroid section (who more then a few have some bundled extra chromosomes) then thats just sad.

What viruses or do you think would...
1) find their way into a steroid vial, then
2) survive the benzyl alcohol, lack of proper medium, lack of a host/warmth for weeks or months, then
3) survive the thorough autoclaving that I (and anyone else can) give the finished vial?

The answer is none.

The risks you're talking about are common to all donors. Unless a steroid user is sharing needles, he is no more a liability than the next guy.

Okay, thanks Bonaparte, I'll look into it
