how do you feel after donating plasma vs. blood?
I've given blood a few times, and it almost never goes smoothly, I usually feel a bit hot near or at the very end, but I bounce back pretty quick and don't mind it much. I always prepare too, and have concluded that I'm just one of those types.
I've heard platelet donation is less taxing, but I haven't heard any comparisons to plasma.
I'm especially interested in donating plasma since I'm type AB, and it would seal the deal if it was 'nicer,' but I don't think I can handle it if it's 'worse.'
