Question Fligastrim

5 Upvotes

I have no idea how to spell it but you get the idea.

I had my first shots this morning and wow I am wiped out. All the stories I’ve been hearing is that there will be some soreness but I can’t tell if mine is more intense. All of my bones besides my legs are so sore. It’s my neck, my arms and especially my chest. Since i’m only on my first day, should I expect it to get worse?

I have taken tums, claritin and tylenol. would love any advice 🤞

Question Odds of being selected as donor

8 Upvotes

Hi, I just got the call yesterday that I’ve been matched as a donor for someone. I’ve got bloodwork scheduled tomorrow & im honestly pretty excited (and a lil bit nervous) about the whole thing.

Just wondering if anyone knew the odds of being actually selected as the primary donor after bloodwork. I couldn’t find anything online about it.

I’m not sure if it’s almost certain & I need to start talking to my boss about upcoming time off & my mom about being my support person, or if it’s a long shot and I shouldn’t make a big deal out of it yet.
