Hope it’s nothing serious vrap. I’m guessing the buzzy one will be banned for life, too (as I was when diagnosed). Prior to that I had about 20 years of fails due to having spent time in “dubious” locations within the qualifying period (usually Turkey and the wider middle east, although a couple of times for South America)…

It was completely out of the blue and I don't have any symptoms or noticeably reduced exercise tolerance so it's probably artefact. I've got an appointment to have a health check including bloods at my GP's surgery on Thursday (our local practice is excellent). I did have an artefactually low Hb once before, a long time ago, but that was only a 3 month ban and it was normal when I had a proper venous sample taken by my GP.

The buzzy one hasn't tried to donate since receiving his diagnosis and being started on treatment.

Gosh vrap that is a proper ban

I’m booked for 21st Feb, not donated for a while as it was increasingly difficult to get an appointment

Aw no Vrap. Must be at anaemic level for a 12 month ban. That’s what I got a few years ago.

Hope levels all ok at GP.

😟 Sorry to hear that, V'rap, and that it is just a short lived oddity.

Just think of all that dino-ichor they're gonna miss!
