Well then. Glad I'm getting one soon. Tested for low iron and the doc said there could be something like internal bleeding or something so they want to check. Google, fwiw, says blood donation can lead to low iron and I donate double reds as often as I can. Hopefully they don't find anything, or they find something easily treatable.

It was low enough for me to be deferred once. They said I could take just a Flintstone vitamin daily for the week before my donation. I was doing that but also mentioned that to my doctor. The numbers I gave him then he said weren't concerning. My last visit was like a few weeks after my donation and I didn't take the vitamins afterwards.
