  1. has anyone ever done this? there is this place near me that will give me 30 bucks everytime that i go. how long does this process take and does it hurt bc i am seriously considering this haha
     
  2. ive done it, it takes awhile at first, they kinda interview you and ask you questions. Likewise when they are taking the blood they use a slower flow rate on your first time (2-3 hrs your first time)

    It doesnt really hurt, theyll stick your arm start pumping blood out, centrifuge it then run the blood back into you. That cycle will repeat a few times and that really the only point you notice the pain (theres a slight pain when they draw the blood but you get used to it, then when they pump blood back into you theres a definate feeling of release, then when they start drawing blood again you notice that same dull pain again)

    the 1 I went to had a few TVs set up and gave you a lil stress ball, Id recommend an ipod too so the time passed quick enough

    if you want a lil extra cash and have the time, might as well do it.
     
  3. thanks for the help man i think im gonna give it a shot do you know how often you can do it
