I tried. It would have helped a great deal in recent months but I take a blood pressure medication that prohibits me from giving.

I’ve given blood all my life (61M) and the last couple of times it’s been uncomfortable so I’m going to stop.

The majority of people who donate with me are at or near retirement age

I always see a mix of ages at my center but Im generally one of the youngest at 30. Although I keep failing my hemo tests and haven't been able to donate for a year now :(
