Hi all, just wanted to say , that Lupus sufferers CAN be Blood Donors , I checked on there website today... BUT it depends if or what medication you are on, I'm on Quinoric so I'm not allowed for at least 12 months after I finish the course I'm currentlly on.... Saw a blog earlier that thought it was a no..... So do check and if you can then carry on donating.... X

COOL! I will ring the blood donor helpline again as I had the order to stop hydroxychloroquin due to complication, last month.

Cheers Rusty26!
