[quote=Anonymous]Go to children's or Inova donor centers. Not a temporary drive and not the red cross donor center. Yes to reclining, hydration, and eating well in advance. If you start feeling warm or experience vision changes (darkness closing in) TELL them and they can help you or stop the donation if needed. The blood of people don't finish can still be used for research. Consider bringing someone with you so they can distract you, alert someone if you need help, and take you home after. Leave plenty of time so if you don't feel good you can rest after. When transferring from the donation bed to the post donation area, sit up and rest, stand up slowly, and take your time walking over. Definitely stay in the post-donation area for 15 minutes.
