Denied Again

 

Today was the second time I have been denied the honor of donating blood. Chad and I often sign up for the blood drive at church. In July, I was feeling a bit off but didn’t think it would cause any issues with blood donation. I was wrong. My iron level was very low. I started taking supplements the next day and made an appointment with the doctor where I was told there were no problems with my blood levels. Now, here I am trying to donate blood again. The time not really feeling much different than normal. However, once again my iron is too low to donate. This time not by much. It is so frustrating! I need to make an appointment for a blood draw for my thyroid soon, so I guess I will ask them to check my iron level again.
