Donating Blood
4 Answers
When I go to donate blood my blood comes out no problem at first but after about 6 seconds, my blood stops and they have to put the needle back in as my arm refuses to give blood. It trickles really slowly and then eventually it comes out.
Does anyone else have the same problem when donating blood?
Does this mean that my blood is flowing slowly out of my arm?

I also correlate it with not having had anything to drink that day mind you, as I hadn't planned to give blood til i saw the sign on my way home...
