    So I gave blood again today. The nurse got the needle insertion wrong and inserted it too shallow so it hurt the entire time.

      @ceruleanspark That's one of the reasons I don't go anywhere near bloodsuckers.

      @ceruleanspark Oh man, if I wasn't anemic and stuff I would give blood all the time.

        @mastertdi I have a blood disorder which causes anemia and it doesn't cause any problems for me

          @ceruleanspark Isn't there still a risk though? I mean, I also have a B12 deficiency as well, among other things. Guess I just naturally assumed it'd be too problematic for me to.

            @mastertdi They poke you in the finger and use copper sulfate to test your blood iron levels to check you won't die before you start.

              @ceruleanspark I'm going to have to look further into it, then. I swear I saw something that told me otherwise but if not it's something I'd love to do.
