Sadly, a lot more people aren't allowed to donate than most people realise. That's why it's so important for those who can, that they do so.
I used to give blood when I was a teenager but was ruled out a few years later - in the past decade I've had five operations and a tattoo, and every time I've served out the waiting period after each, I've been on antibiotics or been rejected for other medication I take.
More recently I've found that people with chronic fatigue syndrome are no longer allowed to give blood, that now rules me out until they change the rules.
I'd love to give blood, it's simple, very little pain, costs nothing and so important. But unfortunately I can't.
