This post is almost identical to a previous one. So why am I posting this one?
The previous one had an image due to which the post was getting reported on social media. The image expressed something that I have learned many who have had transfusions had complained about getting:
Now I am making this post again with a different image.
This one:
Here is the previous content in a nutshell:
This study shows that patients might feel that transfusions could modify their behavior or values and that certain personality traits of the donor could be transmitted. Further research in a larger population is warranted to evaluate the incidence of a perceived change in behavior or values after a blood transfusion.
See the study:
Perceived changes in behavior and values after a red blood cell transfusion
My question to everyone who has had a blood transfusion is as follows:
Have you afterwards experienced
- A change in personality and personality patters?
- Have your dreams changed and surprised you “feeling foreign”?
- Have you experienced sleep paralysis?
- Have you developed allergies or other types of physical reactions previously absent?
- Do you “feel different” and haven’t gone back to feeling exactly how you did before?
Thank you in advance for your reply. Feel free to add whatever else might apply that I have not mentioned above.
I had 10 units transfusion. I developed a peanut allergy and gluten intolerance following my exit of the hospital. I also took cipro. I have never been the same. I was in intensive care 5 days. I have my same values. I do not believe that will change but i feel more broken ans less vibrant.it happened 7 years ago.
I have had a transfusion and the only change I noticed is I’m not dead like I would have been without it. I still think and act the same as I did before.
I had a huge ( my hubby calls it a full body oil change) transfusion after an emergency hysterectomy. I believe it had parasite 🪱 in the blood. I’ve recently been on a deep parasite cleanse ( diatomaceous earth and activated charcoal and other things, G0ogle is terrible for information on this, join a FB group) and I have expelled many things that don’t belong in my body!! It’s been life-changing. I believe big harma is why I needed the transfusion/ emergency surgery in the first place. Highly recommend healing with fruit and veggies and herbs nuts seeds and earth minerals and sea salt. Get back to nature essentially.. I’m rhnneggg too. I’ve never felt better than this and each day I feel better and better!!
No. Im the same. Some positives may have hoped my personality changed but it did not.
Very interesting! I went on to read the suggested study notes above “Perceived changes in behavior and values after a red blood cell transfusion”, I was surprised by what I learned! This is a situation I had never imagined, but seems it can change a recipient’s “being”. The study reported positive reports of changes from organ donor recipients, and later wondered if blood could do the same. Evidently it can. I don’t know why, but this fascinates me!
Got a full blood transfusion 90 days ago after being stabbed and nearly dying. Felt weird ever since. Nothing extreme, my values haven’t changed. Neither has my personality. Just something i cant quite put my finger on. Like even though my reaction time, intelligence and logic/reasoning seem normal as ever, theres this feeling of brain fog or difficulty concentrating that I have NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. Trouble focusing and paying attention. I was a hard-core, heavy drug addict. I am 37 and have been a methamphetamine and heroin addict, off and on (but mostly on) for just under 20 years. Since the transfusion and 12 day hospital stay, I have had just about ZERO urge to use these drugs. Maybe a craving or two, but they passed quickly and easily, compared to before where I would ruminate and obsess for hours or even days over the idea of using, until I eventually gave in. Seems like a fair trade to me I suppose, but I do still feel weird, and ever so slightly “not myself”. I realize this could be the fact that I’m 3 months sober after a three year binge, but I’ve gotten sober and stayed sober for up to two years at a time (a number of times) before, and never felt like this.
