USC just wondering... do you always have to be on blood thinners now? Or did your doctor give you an option to donate blood every 4-6 months? When you donate a pint of blood... it sort of thins out your blood by 3-4%... which is huge. The side effect to donating blood... your iron could become unstable... it doesn't happen to everyone. I know every condition is different... just wondering if it would make a difference in your case? Perhaps you should ask your doctor if that's another option for you? Get well soon.
