I went to donate blood today because I can now, since T raised my RBC to normal levels, and whoof I could not get off that chair after the donation was over. Literally, every time I got up, thinking I was doing better, I would get all cold and woozy and lose my footing, and they'd lay me back down to rest for longer times.

#my body being super dramatic #I only donated a pint! it should be okay!#my body's like ''ooooouhuhhh maaaaiiii gooooouuuuddd we're dyyyyiiiiingggg!!'' I legit started getting all sorts of symptoms #like hyperventilation and feeling cold and heart palpitations and my fingers and toes were numb and tingly and I had hot-cold flashes #my vision got blurry at times and my lips were cyanotic and I kept on getting dizzy when standing up and my knees or ankles would buckle in #it took me over an hour for a supposedly 15 min appointment #I literally had to do controlled breathing for a long while because I could not get my body to stop reacting with adrenalin to the missing #pint of blood lmaoooo #personal #also they had to stick the needle several times until they found one vein that wasn't too dry lmao
