Blood donation | Journey with Parkinson's

I am not a physician but am throwing this out there. I have been donating blood since 1985 and "signs of dementia" has never been one of the concerns raised that I can recall.

Yes I Can

Think it's a good idea to let the Blood Drive people tell you IF your not qualified to give . They ask you a ton of questions and IF there is any doubt they'll tell you not to donate. Also your Blood is tested before it's transfused to anyone and if there's a problem they won't use it and will let you know about it before you donate again. Also been donating on and off since the 70's.

They do ask you a lot of questions before you can donate blood. Wish I could get used to their new computer tablet touch screen. I liked the paper format more.

Once in a while I fly through the 50 or so questions they ask on the laptop; other times the person doing the checking in helps me with the thing.

I usually do platelets where you can donate these 24 times a year max. These machines are usually at the One Blood Centers. Platelet Donation
