Hi Lisa and others….
Funny you should ask about blood donation. The local blood bank called last night and I asked that very question…am I
eligible to donate. I’ve had Graves for six years…was radiated right
away and have been on replacement thyroid since. The woman asked the
doctor and he said “Yes..as long as you had stable levels for a year.”
She also looked it up in their manual and it agreed with his assessment.
So…roll up your sleeves gang…..
By the way…I have been a lucky one and so far have had few bad symptoms…
nothing I can’t cope with. Hair thinned for awhile…and weight gain…
a bummer for sure, but, oh well….
good luck to you all…your stories are very touching…..
Liz
