Does donating blood before taking SN enhance its effects?

[allthatimsaying]

I'm wondering if taking SN after donating blood might be more painful or efficient. Could the drop in blood volume make SN hit harder or cause more discomfort? I haven't found solid info on this, so I'm curious if anyone knows whether this is actually the case (either from research or reliable sources).

Perhaps. You raise an interesting question. I'm not aware of any research or sources, but it seems that more likely than not, the SN concentration in the blood would be slightly higher. But it would need to be ingested almost immediately after the donation so that would be difficult to orchestrate.

I don't really know either. One issue I would see is they encorage you to drink plenty and eat a biscuit afterwards so- that would impact fasting. I guess you could refuse. Or, leave it longer till taking the SN I guess. I suppose it takes a while for the body to make up the blood.

Yeah it would. Same amount of SN on a lesser quantity of blood. Might as well donate if you're going to die soon because it's good for those who need it.

You can absolutely refuse. I donate blood myself pretty regularly and I tell them that I'll go home and eat. Of course, this is because four months ago, when I last donated blood, I wasn't eating junk food at that time. They usually offer a packet of juice and some biscuits.

Since SN works on blood, I won't be surprised if it's quicker maybe. Maybe the time required to go unconscious is reduced a bit, but I'm spitballing here,

yes, mainly due to reduced hemoglobin and impaired oxygen carrying capacity. im not fully sure but i think someone said once it takes 3-8 weeks to get back the red blood cell levels which carry the oxygen. so yes it might increase likelihood of successful attempt
