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.

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? Thanks.
