Hello all,
I gave blood this afternoon. Afterwards I had a black coffee and had a chat with a friend of mine who knows I'm on LT. She asked in the National Blood Service were okay about me donating and I admitted I hadn't actually mentioned it to them. To be honest, it didn't cross my mind. It got me to thinking so I popped in to see my pharmacist on my way home and asked her. Typically she had no idea!
I just wondered if anyone else has given blood while on LT or whether they were advised not to.
I was careful about getting up afterwards and sitting for a while so I didn't faint but then I usually do coz I have low BP.
