RE: [TMIC] blood, tissue, organ donation
I, too, donate blood through the Red Cross in Canada with no problems.

I am interested that you give blood and bone marrow. I was told I could no longer donate because, although my TM was considered idiopathic (don't know what caused it), the possibility that it was an autoimmune factor led them to nix me as a blood donor as well as concerns about tissue and organ donation - with the exception of the corneas I believe. I haven't explored it since then and it has been ten years. Maybe things have changed. Can you enlighten me to the discussions you may have had concerning allowed donation?

Re: [TMIC] blood, tissue, organ donation
I called the red cross and told them my history, listed my medications and asked them to investigate if I was still eligible and a few days later I was told I could resume donating.
