Today, I got a call from Red Cross about the blood donation I gave last week. They informed me that I have Hepatitis C. FML
Collection
Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to donate blood for the first time. When they stuck the needle in my arm, I had a panic attack and begged that they take it out. The woman helping me told me she'd take it out in a moment and left. It was then that the Red Cross stole a pint of my blood while I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I gave blood for the first time, since I'm a universal donor. After it was done, I passed out, woke up, puked, and passed out again. The kind nurses told me I was the worst case they had seen all week. So much for doing something to help others. FML
Today, I went to the blood bank to donate plasma. All went well until the machine went to return my red blood cells. It turns out the nurse sliced my vein and the blood built up in my tissues. I now have a massive swollen arm and bruising, and look like a junkie. FML
Today, I got my blood drawn for a donation and they didn't warn me that I was borderline anemic. I passed out in the middle of Walgreens and woke up to people just standing there, staring. FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, after coming back from a trip to Africa where I got malaria, I went to the hospital for some blood tests. The doctor said, "Good news! You never had malaria! But they put you through a lot of dangerous treatments and now your liver has an anomaly." FML
Today, as a veteran blood donor, I made a friend who was donating for the first time- I told her not to be scared and that I've been doing it for six years and that it was a great way to help people. While at the snack area afterwards, I passed out, started convulsing and went into shock. FML
Today, I found out that I have a heart disease. When I went to tell my family, they all said that it should kill me faster so that I can donate my organs to my cousin. FML
Today, I wanted to donate blood for the first time ever at the The 38th Annual Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeve Blood Drive. Unfortunately, someone with my exact name & birthdate was already in the system and 30 minutes were spent trying to correct the problem. Eventually, I got frustrated and left. No good deed goes unpunished. FML
Today, I donated blood for the first time, and all the nurses kept complimenting on how good my veins were. That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me in the past 2 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This happened to my sister, hep C and all. Turns out it was a false alarm. I just made a FML account to tell you to get checked again by a private doc and don't freak out. She thought her life was over for about two weeks. Don't let that be you.

Hepatitis C is treatable not like the others like A and B. Hepatitis C is a liver disease and you can pretty much get it from sex to binge drinking to sharing needles with other people. How do I know this you might ask? Because I had it and they treated it perfectly. So OP, your life isn't ******.

this isnt necessarily true. i know someone who had hep c. basically you go on a toned down chemo treatment that you have to inject yourself daily. at the end of it youre either negative or positive but it is possible to cure. you cant get it from binge drinking, and only rarely can you get it from sex, and even then, you cant get it from sexual fluids. hep C is blood to blood or vertical transmission...mother to child. you could get it from sex say, if you were de-virginizing a girl and you went down on her, or if you went down on a girl on her period, if she had it. stuff like that. or sharing needles. or you were one of the unlucky 6% and were born with it.

I'm not going to argue with you home, but it's still considered an STD because you can get it from having sec with an infected person. Binge drinking leads to liver damage which leads to liver disease and Hepatitis C is thrown in there as a liver disease. I know the treatments because I went through them when I had Hepatitis C.

Drinking has nothing to do with hep C. Both can cause cirrhosis independently, but one does not cause the other.

What they didn't tell him was that he got Hepatitis C from the needle that they forgot to sanitize.

OP is female; your comment still applies though.

it actually doesn't. this happened to me and hepatitis c is very rarely transmitted through sex it's normally blood to blood contact.
Molord1 0
it actually does. there are several fetishes in which blood is a normal. there are also several moves as seen on urban dictionary that involve blood.

Actually, you can get Hep C from unprotected sex. This list of causes is directly from the nih: •being born to a mother with hepatitis C •having sex with an infected person •being tattooed or pierced with unsterilized tools that were used on an infected person •getting an accidental needle stick with a needle that was used on an infected person •using an infected person’s razor or toothbrush •sharing drug needles with an infected person You're welcome.

Dirty needle from a previous donation maybe?

75- How exactly was it started then? Just curious, only saw explanations with "infected person" so enlighten us please? Too lazy to look it up.

Get tested by your doctor. Mistakes happen.
sAnChEz_98 0
yes that is true... the red cross told my husband that he had hep c after he donated, and he got tested by his doctor and was negative. We were each others firsts, he has no tattoos, and has never used any kind of drugs. So yea OP go to your doctor and get that checked out!

Maybe now you can be a drummer in an 80s hair metal band tribute... that is until some Nirvana tribute band shows up and takes your gigs.

Hey the 80s had their time, people just shifted tp grunge. It was time for change and bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and L7 took to the limelight. now they lost it to all of this garbage pop and hip hop and such
