Removing own blood

[Cgkone]

So I got a pint of own blood out.....
Not sure if AM can handle the visual

 

[Smont]

And why did you do this?

 

[Cgkone]

Needed to keep my red blood count on check.
Can't give blood.
Don't want to talk AAS with my doc.
Very difficult to get a hold of blood collection equipment.

 

[Cgkone]

My other option was emergency room.
I was going to just give a fake name and go through the motions and get them to to do a blood dump.
But I'm red flagged for 5 years from donating.
So self extraction was/is necessary.

 

[Cgkone]

I know there are other people with this issue.
So just wanted to let people know it's possible.
Also very easy.

 

[Ryangash]

I've been talking to the old lady about it since she is a nurse. I stopped use of EQ after about the 6th week though....so not sure if it is still necessary.

Nothing makes me want to stay for another set than a nice toe in some yoga pants.

I'm interested, bro! How did you do it?

2 options come to mind:
-conventional: buy a phlebotomy kit
-extreme: bust a hemorrhoid

 

[Cgkone]

They refused to let me But that kit because you have to work for a government approved agency.
Of your over seas you might get better action.
I just did another half pint a couple days ago.
I got a blood collection kit from a vet supply place via eBay.
16 gauge needle and it was over in 5 min.
That's the way to go.
The kit you showed is what I actually would have liked to have gotten .....but no go.
My bag cost 12$

That's even better! 12 bucks for a veterinary kit, can't beat that! Did you have someone watching, keeping an eye on you?

 

[Cgkone]

Yeah you need 2 people.....well in emergency I could do it alone. But way better to have a co pilot.
I timed it and 5 min was almost exactly .5 pint

I'm really considering this to do too. I could donate at any hospital here, but would have to wait, fill out forms and lie my azz off.

It's pretty easy.
Hospital wasn't an option. I'm flagged for 5 years.
So I had no choice.
This way is pretty simple.
And I did it right at home. Boom bang boom

Morality was an issue too.
I don't like lying. Call me old fashion

Same here! Felt like a criminal when filling out the form, denying AAS use.
Will see if I can get a kit at the local pharmacy, should be a no-brainer in bananaland.

Pics? Always curious about this, as I just keep drawing a 6ml barrel a few times, which is a bitch. What kind of "kit" from vet supply? Google here I come.

 

[GreekTheBrick]

Would like some pics too. Congrats OP

You'll need to pull 6ml about 75xs to get a pint

[hairygrandpa]

WTMFH? LMAO ! Damn!

Right out of a splatter movie.

 

[LMuscle]

Hahaha damn that's what I call a sterile environment! I know that's not where it was done, but man that looks f---ed up lmao

 

[chemjr]

Yeah, I did about 12, or 15, can't remember. It was a bitch. Had 3 just kept cycling.
And was only looking to get about half pint, think I got close and fk it. And now that I think about it, I can't remember if they were 6 or 10ml barrels. They're for this fkt up lyme treatment I used to do. But yeah, it was fkn silly. Need one of then hoses and I'll be good to go.
Thank you sir.

 

[chemjr]

Love the rusty needle nose under the table. Looks like a hick horror flick, esp w cynder block wall. And wheelbarrow. Too awesome.

Yup We did it in the back yard.
I stood up and my buddy worked the vacume and kept things working.
The second run was way faster and easier.
16 gauge needle and no vacume is needed

 

[Cgkone]

We are definitely not timid in northern California.
There was no way my wife was gonna let us do that **** in the house

You mad???lol

Right. It's just blood.

Man I thought I was hard core for removing my own lipomas but that is some dedication right there!

You on accutane? What I did was I donated blood and called the donation clinic the next morning and told them I was violently sick with flu/vomiting/etc., and they discarded my donation.

They won't take mine for 5 years.
Melanoma..I'm flagged

 

[Cgkone]

I'm going to pull a pint tomorrow

Get a therapeutic phlebotomy then. It'll cost you some money, but it's better than draining yourself imo.

Well it cost me 7 dollars for the bag.
In done in 6.5 minutes.
Its easy. Painless.
Its really not that scary our difficult.
Literally ANYBODY can do it.
I do it by myself.
I know right where to stick.
I bought a food scale just for this.

What do you do with the blood afterwards?

 

[Cgkone]

Put it in the garden

 

[Cgkone]

Marijuana to be exact hahaha

 

[Cgkone]

Got pics of that too.

 

[Cgkone]

Norcal baby!!! Marijuana and muscles

 

[Cgkone]

I had help the first 2 times.
But I just set up good and time that ****.
6.5 minutes seems to be just over a pint with 14 gauge needle

So you say with anything above a 16g needle you don't need vacuum? And do you happen to know how much they take when you're sent in for phlebotomy due to sleep apnea/trt/etc? Will do my own searching but curious what you've found.
How often have you found is good for you? You running a fair amt of gear or just high trt? Sorry to be so inquisitive, just figure others may benefit as well.

 

[THOR 70]

Haha this is awesome. Love to see people taking their biology into their own hands.

Reminds me of the time I partied with an army ranger and medic. We ended the night with the medic teaching me how to start a saline bag on myself and the ranger. We got blood everywhere but successfully got it started. Woke up with minimal hangover and a small learning experience haha

Well I think the blood bags have a little vacuum.
I just time it for 7 minutes
I'm doing every 8 weeks now.
The first 2 times I think I did it every 4 weeks.

Now that I'm cruising ill probably not do it until I blast again in 8 weeks.

A pint of blood weighs a pound.....I believe.
And 7 minutes gets me there.
EBay blood bags for canines are about 13$
I think they have anti coagulant and slight vacuum.
But with 16gauge or bigger you could use anything to collect it because blood flows no problem.

 

[Cgkone]

I have it down pretty pat now.
Do it solo. Very little mess.
I put the blood into the garden also.
Very good for flowers.
I wish I could get my hands on some IV fluids.
Its easier to get juice than a full IV.

 

[JahCure]

Why not donate that ****??
