    I've been running 500mgs test on a cruise for about a year. I'm not allowed to donate blood. I had hepatitis C at one time, and the last time I went to donate they sent me a letter briefly after saying that my body has ridded itself of the virus but they were able to see that it was once there, therefore, never ever allowed to donate blood now.

    How can I donate or bloodlet in a different way?
    Is your RBC/HEMATOCRIT/HEMOGLOBIN counts high? Is that why your donating?

    I'm not sure, as I haven't gotten bloodwork done, I'm just doing it as my blood pressure is always slightly elevated and that I know it's the right thing to do if you're on a 500mg cruise for a year.

    Is it the right thing to do? Obviously I should get bloodwork done regardless. The last time I donated I felt better, like I could breathe better. I also take adderall 60mg daily for my ADHD which is an amphetamine so I'm assuming that contributes more to the elevated BP than anything else.

    Last time I donated they said my hematocrit was okay.

    Nice to hear someone else say that. It's exactly how I feel after I donate. Like pressure's been lifted from my chest.

    Same here. Feels like you can draw air into the lungs deeper.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    60mg.

    That's a good bit.
