I tried about a month ago and my vein clotted so they couldn't fill the bag. Will try again once I am more hydrated.

I can't. No one wants blood contaminated with drugs. Anti convulsants, anti depressants, to name only two.

I occasionally donate plasma when I need some extra cash. I'm not working right now so the extra 40 bucks really helps. I always try to go twice a week but when the next day I can donate comes I usually forget.

I have been excluded from giving blood for almost 25 years. The power of interest lobbying at work.
