    Yeah between that and you having accessible veins you should be good (the attendants always had to go to my right arm and even then it could be a bit of a challenge)

    If you've donated blood or plasma before I'm sure your familiar with this feeling but in case you haven't had those experiences before just know that beyond a fear of needles/the initial prick, the most uncomfortable part imo is just having a big ass needle in your arm for an extended period of time

    yeah I've had ivs in for days at a time before when i was in hospital so it's no biggie. just gotta up my hydration and i should be cruising

    Yeah when I wrote that I remembered what you said about your accident so I assumed as much but just wanted to make sure

    If you do end up doing this and can remember to, can you write a bit about your experience with it here

    I could really use the cash but I stopped going well before covid and covid is something I'm sensitive to so it would be helpful to hear about someone else's experiences donating/precautions that the center takes

    I didn't want to donate plasma again after doing so 55 times when I was too disabled to work and needed to pay for classes but this got me thinking about getting back to it plus the money would be a big help

    how much money did you make off of it?

    Having my blood drawn is literally my biggest phobia

    That s*** makes my skin crawl and stomach churn just thinking about it. Almost had a panic attack in the shower last night thinking about it.

    I had cupping done once at it fixed my indegestion/heart burn problems for like 3 months

    need to get it done again

    how much money did you make off of it?

    Back when I did it to max out it was twice a week where the first donation got you 20 and the second got you 70

    There were also some programs where you could get a boost for being a first time doner so I'd say all in all a bit over 2k

    But I think programs are paying way better now

    I just looked at one near me and it's 900 for 8 donations from a new time doner

    35-45 mins if you’re pumping your arm

    Had a good time flirting with the blood tech last time I went years ago. Maybe she’s still there
