Plasma Centers

[Mizzkizz7]

Have you even given blood at a Plasma Center? If so, how was our experience?

 I have given plasma twice and I have passed out, tired,. I feel like the plasma centers should pay people who donate more money, but it feels good to know your plasma has saved someone's life.

I have donated before and it was a good experience. With all the money in the world and the amount that celebrities make, I think they should pay donor more money too.

I have never been to a plasma center.   I always think I should, because when my mother was going through chemo & near the end, she received plasma & it helped to make her stronger....  I've forgotten about it truthfully, I'll have to see if I can donate.  I hear it takes hours the first time.... is that true?     

I'm going to put it on my things to do list for this month & make time, it's for a good cause.

I have tried to but did not have a good experience with it so I have not been back.

I've never been to a Plasma center. I had a friend that used to go regularly though.

I am a regular whole blood donor and have never donated only plasma.  I am actually scheduled to make a blood donation in about 6 hours from now. For those who have done both whole blood and plasma donations - how do the actual experiences differ?  I've heard that plasma donations take much longer.

Giving blood is a sin just like drinking it.

Well, my father lived a few extra years thanks to those sinners and that allowed me to spend a little bit of extra time with him that I otherwise wouldn't have had.  So, I decided last year to do my part and give up a pint every couple of months.

My uncle gained extra time by being at a hospice yet he still suffered and died from cancer.Quality of life not quantity.  Ppl not dying easily anymore is one big reason why we have 7 billion plus destroying Eden.

I give platelets as i never seem to qualify to give plasma. I dont get cash directly but earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards etc.  I too feel good as  i help cancer victims

I haven't gotten desperate enough for money that I was would willingly get stuck by a needle. A friend tried to convince me to go with her though.

                       What about dropping your seed  to make money hand over fist ?

I did many many years ago. I honestly didn't like it because the wait time was extremely long. I was there for 8 hours total.

Did it back in the 80's....actually helped me pay for a big 4 door '76 Buick Electra 225....

You can make up to $400 a month in my area for just donating 2 days a week but I just haven't been able to psych myself up to do it............
