Again … thank you for the great answers.

I have not had blood drawn for over 20 years, have not seen a doctor but once in all those years … fell hard on both knees but that doc never drew any blood.

I also was adopted and always felt a part of me was missing until one of my half sisters found me. I already knew my real bio dad but got a chance to meet my bio mom when I was in my early 40s.

Like I said in the first post I try very, very hard to stay as "grey" as possible. I would never give blood freely if possible not to.

I am an extreme introvert and a strong empath. I find my life goes much smoother staying away from people in general. I have family and friends but can't stand the drama.

Thanks again for answering this old lady's question. Great answers all.
