Yeah my bathtub is too small I can't fit properly. I think that's my biggest problem.Fast reader...I inserted it into the list after. Bottle goes in bathtub between my feet and I set on the end (big tub so it's flat there and I sit on a comfy towel for circulation). It helps if it flows down. I cap the bottle on the tub and push tubing and resheethed needle inside...cleaning blood sucks don't take it out of the tub uncapped. I throw the whole bottle away.
I've donated blood a ton so doesn't make me tired or pass out. Have someone watch unless you are certain.
How becasue Dont you need the end to connect to a vacuum like tube?They don't ask for a prescription? I asked about a therapeutic phlebotomy once and they said I'd need a prescription and to come to their main facility that's an hour away. I just do it myself at home now.
The guy told me they test for everythingThey test the blood for various COMMON diseases that are life threatening. Do you know how expensive the testing would be if they checked for EVERYTHING?
They don't so if you have crap in your blood just call in and have them toss it. Say you got a cold.

They do 8 or 9 tests I forgot which ones am sure you can find the info online. Not trying to be rude but a lot of people don't know their job or they say things because they have to. To give off a safe perception I guess.The guy told me they test for everything
3.2.1: Screening for infectious agents
At each donation, the following mandatory tests are performed:
Some donations are tested for cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies to provide CMV negative blood for patients with certain types of impaired immunity (see Chapter 5).
- Hepatitis B – HBsAg
- Human immunodeficiency virus – anti-HIV 1 and 2 and HIV NAT (nucleic acid testing)
- Hepatitis C – anti-HCV and HCV NAT
- Human T-cell lymphotropic virus – anti-HTLV I and II
- Syphilis – syphilis antibodies.
Additional tests, performed in special circumstances, include:
- Malarial antibodies
- West Nile Virus antibodies
- Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies.
But it clogs up and never worksI started out using the tubing, but now I just pull the plunger out of a 3cc syringe.

I'm just on 200mg testosterone TRT right now and I'm already only 1 unit away from having too high hematocrit. I'm drinking water like a camel and it's not helping. It's preventing me from blasting.
DONT DO OR ADVOCATE SELF PHLEBOTOMY ONLINE.
You MAY (although unlikely) be educated enough to do it yourself but someone reading the information likely is not.
Exactly. I’ve been tempted by the convenience before but I’m fearful I’d randomly faint and then you’re totally fucked because at that point you’re totally bleeding out. Flatline. Dead.
I know that can be prevented by buying a pint bag to fill, but I could see someone neglecting that and going the water bottle or solo cup technique.
