I was invited many years ago but every two weeks is too frequent for me, especially with the travel time.

I do plasma. It takes longer, but you can do it more often (although you don't have to).
You don't get so tired afterwards compared to whole blood. It usually takes me just over an hour. You do have to be careful not to get dehydrated though and drink lots. I wouldn't recommend going out drinking booze afterwards, the hangover is brutal.

Forgot to get the time, but props to the practitioner today for the most painless needle stick I've had.
Anyone on here doing plasma donations? The donor centre here is always full of people making what looks like orange juice, and I was wondering about joining up.
If nothing else, it's more mini-cheddars - as many as you can eat in 75 minutes, every two weeks.
