I went to Red Cross and donated blood and it was an ok situation so I signed up to give plasma...
Nightmare.
I went in and was sat in the chair... they put a needle in my right arm (fine at this point) and then put one in my other arm. After a few minutes I started to sweat really bad and felt light-headed... so they took the needle out and then asked if I wanted to try again, and i said yes... So they give me another shot to numb my arm and then stick the return needle back into my arm. Once again everything is fine and then I start sweating again... and my arm swells up and is feeling really tense...
Eventually they remove all of the needles after pumping the blood back into my right arm, where it was removed.
Eventually they told me that they missed my vein on the return needle and hit a wall? Whatever the hell that means... so basically my blood was going back into my arm, but not into the vein. My arm bruised really badly and was sore for 2-3 weeks...
They called me for months straight asking me to come back in...lol.. I told them no way.
