If you ever decide to donate plasma, make sure you tell them not to run your machine on the higher setting. Start off slower and see what your body is comfortable with.

The process doesn't even really take that long. 2 hours out of the week is all! <br /><br />And yes the needle can be a bit scary so those who may be a bit squeamish, might want to take it a bit slow.
