Plasma, in case anyone reading is unaware, is the liquid portion of blood or lymph. as distinguished from the solid elements suspended within it. It can be removed from the human body (to be replace by a saline solution) and used for many pharmaceutical and other purposes. The body replenishes plasma quickly enough for it to collected a couple times per week. Have you ever donated--or sold--your plasma?

After issues with high blood pressure, 15 years ago, I was rejected by the plasma collection center I'd patronized for seven years. But, with my hypertension now under control for over a year, it occurred to me to give another go at parting with my plasma for pay. Have you ever had to give up an activity due to your health, only to return to it once those concerns were managed or eliminated?

Gladly by me, it didn't take much to get back into the swing of getting my plasma extracted, apart from answering a lengthy questionnaire and bit of a physical. And some initial aspects going back to twice-weekly schedule of reclining on a leather couch with a needle in my arm were actually gratifying. Which of the following details of my reintroduction to plasma appointments would you appreciate?

Just as needing money for something special I'd wanted to do was the impulse for my first run at selling my plasma, it's more than just having more money for fun that has inspired me to get back at it. If you are currently in a plasma program or would start one, is there a specific gal you want to meet with the cash earned from that activity?

Plasma donation certainly isn't for everyone, and it may not be for you. Among the reasons listed below, why might it not be for you?
