I hate donating plasma now
I used to be happy that I was making easy money, now everytime I donate every second I’m in that chair feels like hell. I’ve had complications before in my left arm due to lack of prep and them struggling to find my vein. So everytime I donate now I think something is gonna go wrong and I’m gonna be stuck in that chair for an hour plus again. Just the act of pumping my arm non stop sucks now. This is coming from someone who has been donating fairly consistently. It’s an even bigger investment now because I have to prep and recover for each donation. Yesterday after donating I literally felt like I was dying (I was just really tired) and I had even drunk my electrolyte drink afterwards. I’m starting to wonder if I should keep donating at all. I used to feel guilty about donating because while it is a good cause I was mostly doing it for the money. Now I feel like I should actually be making more.
