		 I donated many many times with no problems then one day...  I was the last appointment of the day for the Bloodmobile.  After I finished I went to the front to get some V8 and crackers.  After I finished I thought I would get some Diet Coke...  I stood up and all of the sudden my knees were knocking and I was sweating.  I sat down and then the next thing I knew a nurse was trying to revive me.  I passed out (I don't know for how long, because there was no one watching me.)  About 15 minutes later, after lying with my feet up, I was fine and went on with my day. 
 
Really spooked me, because I never pass out.   
 
Now I just give platelets, because you don't lose as much fluid.
