    Donating Blood and Tinnitus

    You didn't asnwer the question: "How much iron can you lose by donating blood?" "A lot of iron" it is not an answer. Have you spoken with a doctor? Why I didn;t see this problem written anywhere, also nobody (nurses) asked me about that? You know that, before donating, they make a quick...

    Donating Blood and Tinnitus

    How much iron can you lose by donating blood? It's a joke, really. I have T. and I donated blood. My biggest fear was that they could't find my vein (I am fat), not about T. :) If you feel you want to, Go and donate.

    How Long Do I Have to Wait Until I Can Kill Myself?

    "How Long Do I Have to Wait Until I Can Kill Myself?" 1. Are you 100% sure that you tried EVERYTHING? The new medicine, available in 2018, have you tried?
