Question:
Bob, according to my doctor, people with scleroderma cannot donate blood. Dee Dee Hunt
Response:
Bob, as Sharon (Ms Pants) had written here earlier this year, there is no hard-and-fast rule about scleroderma patients contributing. You’ll have to find out on an individual basis when you call to make an appointment to give blood. If you find you can’t donate due to your current state of health, your dollars can still be of great use to the Red Cross for supplies, food, and water. Here’s their online donation page: http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html "Robert DeSavage" <allegro…@mediaone.net> wrote in message

As a thyroid or autoimmune disease patient, there are some dos and don’ts as far as blood donation. Find out how you might do your part. http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/aa091201a.htm jude _________________________________ "Robert DeSavage" <allegro…@mediaone.net> wrote in message

A quick question that entered my mind. Because of this morning’s outrage and tragedy, can people with SD or CREST donate blood? Is there any restrictions that someone might be aware of? No doubt that there is a great need for blood donors. BOB – I’m crazy as can be. Who in their right mind would want to be otherwise? allegro…@mediaone.net http://people.ne.mediaone.net/allegro691/home.htm
