I'd agree, but I am really, really crap with needles.
It's particularly embarassing cause my mum and my sister aren't bothered by them at all.

I keep getting the letter through asking me to go and donate again.
But every time I get it, I've been ill within the previous two weeks, so I can't go >.>
Wish we got payed for it >.>

More than we get in the UK.NightmareLuna said:

Already donating blood 4 times a year. That is the maximum for males in Sweden, for females it's only 3times a year.
Only takes 10mins to donate blood and it's often painfree as long as the needle is inserted right.. Had a nurse poking my arm with the needle a few times and that was somewhat painful and afterwards I looked like a heavy user with spasms..

How about this for a benefit; how would you feel if you or a loved one got in a accident and needed blood to survive surgery and there was no blood to be used because people don't see the "benefits" of donating blood.NightmareLuna said:
several weeks qualifies as soon i would think.Aidinthel said:
as far as needles go, i'd much prefer getting the needle in the arm for blood donation as opposed to one in the mouth for novacaine(sp?) at the dentist. honestly i think very very few people are "good with needles", and i think those people are more "good at not focusing on it". i find it worst when u watch.
even if u hate needles you should try to tolerate it at least once a year, its for a good cause and theres no other way to get blood.
Last time someone tried sticking a needle in me it was an untrained nurse scrapping the needle against my bone. The only time someone will ever get near me with a needle ever again is someone asking to die.
Never. Donating, however,is a different matter entirely. I do that. Need to find out whether I can catch the next clinic.
Noooo.
Needles give me panic attacks just knowing I'm in a room with one or even the slightest threat of needles. There's no way I could donate blood or plasma without feeling supremely uncomfortable.

This... honestly, fuck needles.thaluikhain said:
I don't mind giving back a little, but does it have to be with a needle? I don't mind cutting my fingertip with a ceremonial dagger if that would work.
What do you mean convince? I am already a blood donor as well as an organ donor. I figure that I might as well start helping people by doing that. The free food and movie tickets don't hurt either.
Also, it's donate, not doning. I don't think doning is even a real word.

No. I react badly to people trying to stick a sharp object in me. VERY badly. The last doctor that tried to give me an immunisation got a boot to the face. Extreme, yes, but it got the point across. Would I have been better off getting immunised? Maybe, but I've had no problems so far and there was no way I was going to let someone stab me with anything. Its kinda an instinctual reaction to me. As such, even if I wanted to do the right thing, the second someone tried to stick a needle in me, things would get ugly. Now, if they sedated me and got everything done before they woke me up, I may think about it. Anything else, and there is no way in hell.
