Hey do any of you here donate Plasma? I do it's an extra $50 a week, to help pay for stuff. It's normally $20 the first donation of the week and then $30 the second donation of the week. You are allowed 2 donations a week. At my center this month the second donation is worth $40. I think it's well worth the time you have to sit there to donate, you sit there and pump your fist for an hour and get paid for it, SWEET!!!! I go to Biolife, here is the site url so you can see if there is a center near you. www.biolifeplasma.com/

i've been thinking about doing that for the past couple of years but i hate needles It's not as bad as you might think, depending on if you get someone who knows what they are doing, It doesn't really hurt at all. I'm generally not that fond of needles either, but you tend not to really think about it which is nice. It's far better than some of the stories i have heard.

I just ended a long battle wit a form of leukemia called MDS. I received many transfusions of platelets and red blood cells. After my bone marrow transplant, I didn't need them as much. I wish I could personally thank everyone that donated platelets or red blood cells that were given to me! They saved my life! I hope more people would take the time to donate. Most red blood centers have TVs with DVD players so you can take your DVDs that you want to watch while donating. Platelet, red blood cell donating takes a few hours. So with a few moments of discomfort, you could watch your favorite movies or shows, and save someone's life at the same time.
