I'm on the same page.

I wonder how many blood donor clinics even tell patients to take an iron supplement ? Feels a bit archaic of a system to help one person through someone else without proper post-donation advice.

I thought about donating a few times, coming up on a decade of HRT soon. In Canada it's +12 or +14 weeks after tattooing before being eligible. I've never been eligible in 10 years.
