That FMS sufferers cannot give blood or be organ donors ???
I only found out yesterday through my web browsing. I was wondering if anyone else had known about this ?
I guess its because our illness depletes the immune system and obviously we would'nt want to pass this on to another poor soul that has enough problems already being in need of organs etc. it's just something I hadn't contemplated before.
Just seemed weird to me though as so many doctors still dont believe the condition actually exists yet they ban us from being donors...
