So I did a blood donation last month, and I got suckered into a double red cell donation, which means I basically donated two units at once. I didn't even know that was a thing.
Anyway, I got back to rolling last week, and I'm regularly cramping like crazy, never been a problem before now.
I'm assuming some electrolyte issues, but I'm not so much an expert.
Anyone deal with post-donation issues, particularly after a double red cell donation?
I always get cramps in my WFA after donating blood
Is it that time of the month?

I bet a buddy that would be one of the first replies, and you didn't disappoint, UG.
Stay classy!

You should go and demand your cells back.
Maybe you have anemia if you haven't recovered still?
Natural
after a month you should be okay i believe. go see a doctor.
i've given a lot of blood. the first few days suck. id just eat and drink and sleep, take it easy and lay on the couch. but you must be going really hard for it to be bothering you after a month... or something else is wrong.
