“huge” compared to the act. Wasn’t that huge, but muscle aches basically

But in my finger it definitely felt like someone was planting something in my finger every time I put a bit of pressure on it. Annoying to temporarily lose the ability to use a finger because I donated :(

So there definitely aren’t only 10 reasons you might not donate

My first experience with it was having a huge pain in my arm every time I move it from the vertical position, and this lasted for like 2-3 days, plus the pain I felt in my finger that was tested for blood eligibility every time it touched something, which lasted for a couple of days as well.

Wasn’t a fun experience, not sure if I’ll do it again :-/
