Do you know your blood group?

Just a side note: there is a really interesting book called "Eat The Right Diet" and it is full of fascinating facts and figures about blood groups, predominance in different ethnic groups and parts of the world. It also suggests that we should eat according to our blood type and thereby metabolism differs, but I'm not sure I completely understand that bit

Like many here I found out when I was pregnant over 45 years ago!

I used to give blood about 30yrs ago and was told that I'm A+, but then found out I have MS and haven't been allowed to donate since - stupid in my opinion because MS isn't transmissible

I am A Pos. Know this from when I was a blood doner.
However, some forty years ago, I had a very bad fall, which resulted in a lot of internal bleeding and twice the hospital tried to give me blood, and both times I went into 'rigour'. I hace no idea why and what they were doing wrong. This was not immediately after I went into hospital, but the first attempt was when I had been there a week, and th e second one two weeks later. Theygave up at that point.

I was very worried when ten yers later I needed a major operation - but that time, they got it right, and had no problem with the blood infusion.

My Covid Vaccination card, is carried with me at all times, I am worried that I could lose it, so have photographed it, and keep a copy both on my phone and on my laptop. Both jabs show date, batch nos. and type.

I found out the first time I gave blood. Last year in full pandemic I was alarmed to read that my blood group was more susceptible to Covid but luckily, that theory was soon disproved!

Me too, nearly 55 years ago. I was given a yellow card with Group A positive on and still had it until quite recently when it disintegrated.

I certainly know I'm Rhesus neg after my pregnancies, ouch!
