I gave blood today for the Red Cross, which, always a cool thing to do, but.... instead of the usual 10mins it should take, I took 30mins to fill the bag.
Which means, 30mins of a big ass needle in my arm, while I had to open and close my fist over a very hard stress ball, which in turn shifted the needle in my arm every single time.
In short? OW!
I was told I shouldn't give blood again, because I was right there at the time limit (according to them) and it's not good that I take too long.
I'll probably give again, but not anytime soon. Maybe it's because of my weight.....

And, I'm probably not under '8 stone', since I'm in serious need of losing about 100 lbs or more.
Last time it was a bit slow, but this time was worse (and I was about 50 to 60 pounds thinner).

It's about 51kg or 112 pounds.
Sometimes it's just slower, perhaps your metabolisms slowed or something. Or you've just had a virus. Best thing to do is try again and if things are the same, don't do it again.

And yeah, they don't take blood from people lighter than 130lbs here.
And maybe it's the slow metabolism thing, 'cause I'm pretty sure mine is very very very slow....
