I donated blood last Thursday, and on Friday I was EXHAUSTED. Like, having-to-lie-down-after-only-being-awake-for-three-hours exhausted. I suspect I will receive a letter next week telling me my iron count was low and that I have to go back for a checkup. I'm usually tired the day I've given blood, but not that tired the day after. My iron levels are usually quite near the limit (for donating) so it's easy to fall below it I guess.

Interestingly enough, back when I was a vegetarian my iron levels were about the same as they are now that I eat meat.
