Giving Blood

[Spcl22]

I gave blood on Monday and I'm still feeling really tired and drained.

I have given blood a fair few times now and I'm used to feeling tired for normally no more than 1 day afterwards.

Does anyone know if the 'tiredness' can last for longer than a day?

My other question is that I'm supposed to be going to the gym this evening... but I'm thinking would I be putting my body under too much strain if it was still 'coping' with giving blood?

thanks... spcl xx

Maybe you're coming down with something. I never had much tiredness after giving blood but tend to get very tired before coming down with a cold or similar.

Maybe get the Vit C going or echinecea to give your immune system a boost.

you body would have replaced all the blood cells by now. I'd say you're coming down with something
