James Van Der Beek, best known as the titular character on “Dawson’s Creek,” has died at 48, according to a statement from his family posted on Instagram.
It was low enough for me to be deferred once. They said I could take just a Flintstone vitamin daily for the week before my donation. I was doing that but also mentioned that to my doctor. The numbers I gave him then he said weren’t concerning. My last visit was like a few weeks after my donation and I didn’t take the vitamins afterwards.
Does your blood center not test iron before taking a donation?
Every time I’ve donated, they took a lancet to one of my fingers for a drop of blood and checked how fast it sank in some sort of liquid.

wonder if they were checking for protein, increase protein in the blood can indicate something more serious.
