Been to the blood bank yesterday to donate blood. Quick test showed I could not donate this time. Iron was at 134 but must be 135 or above to donate. It’s probably due to surgery I had last month, and now i’ve been advised to wait 6 months. Somehow It makes me feel a bit sad and guilty.


that’s harsh…
I’m pretty sure Sweden has no permanent deferral (though extra rules apply as it seems from the health-check questionnaire)
