Just that bit of light-headedness as I was giving blood. But I'm a big girl and it takes a lot to knock me over. I haven't given blood since. I tried once and my iron level was too low. After that, I kept forgetting to go. They'd call me and I'd make an appointment, but then I'd forget it. But I'll do it again.

I mean a few hours to a few days later? I did the power red last weekend for the first time and I felt rather tired for the first day or so.... and my intestinal system was rather screwed up..... for a few days.... The smell reminded me of babies.... What was your experience? thanks David Maria:
