But, I really wanted to start giving plasma because obviously the extra money helps any broke college kid but it's also so cool how it's actually important and relevant to donate. My dad has been giving plasma in my hometown for a few years already and I had actually tried to go to BioLife over two years ago and was deferred for ONE YEAR just because I had piercings and tattoos. I get you have to let your body heal but an entire year is so excessive. CSL only requires 4 months between the most recent tattoos or piercings so this was part of my motivation for coming here versus other places. 100% transparency coming to CSL to give has been one of THEE BEST decisions I have ever made. Like I can't even explain just how awesome donating here has been. Expect when you go in the first time that it will take at least 3 hours to get you set up. I'm not sure why but that's truly just how long it takes, and they do warn you of that before you start. But after that initial setup it takes around an hour each time to donate depending on how busy it is and you can go twice a week, so it's super easy. They don't take appointments, it's all walk-in only. Also be aware if you have any kind of bruise or cut on your arms or hands they may defer you for a few days or more. I had a bruise on my arm one time and I ended up not being able to give for a week. I get they want your body to heal and that's fine but it's definitely something to be prepared for. I can't even believe how nice everyone here is! Of course there's the occasional grumpy person but I truly feel so at home coming to CSL after a few months now getting to know the workers. Many of them remember me by name now and always say hi and I feel so welcome and just love the community there. From Dara, to Deb, to Scott to Chloe to Jamie, and my man "K" (he never wears a name tag and won't tell me his actual name but he knows who he is), they are all so awesome and there's so many more who should be recognized that I hadn't written down. Seriously. These guys rock. They can be a little slow at times sure but it is so worth it to come donate especially if you need some extra change and actually want to make a difference for someone in need through your plasma donation- give it a try!

I'm so disappointed I trusted my health and well-being to this Defy and I regret using them. This is why you should go elsewhere... I originally sought help for fatigue and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I was started on desiccated thyroid medication, and initially things improved and showed in the first year's blood work. However, over time (5 total years), my medication was increased without a full evaluation of how my labs and symptoms were trending together. This clinic specializes in hormones, how can you not properly read year 2 of a blood panel then continue to mis-diagnose and improperly medicate a patient for 3+ years. My emotional, mental and physical health is destroyed right now. Looking back at my lab results: - My TSH became suppressed (very low) - My Free T3 was at the high end or above range - I began developing symptoms consistent with overstimulation, including poor sleep, heat intolerance, nervous system sensitivity, and eventually loss of my menstrual cycle Despite these clear patterns, there was no adjustment made to account for possible over-replacement or the downstream hormonal effects this was having on my body after my results from year 2 of treatment. I was having horrific mood swings, sleeping extremely poorly, and suicidal thoughts. I now understand that my system was likely being pushed into an overactive state, which impacted my sleep (waking up all night long), nervous system, and reproductive hormones (including very low progesterone and loss of cycle). What has been most frustrating is not just the symptoms, but the lack of holistic evaluation. My labs were viewed in isolation for 5 years total, rather than as a pattern over time, and my symptoms were not fully integrated into my care plan. I'm sharing this so others know: ---- Make sure your provider is looking at trends over time, not just single results---- I wish I had known earlier how important it is to balance thyroid treatment carefully, especially when using T3-containing medications. I've done my research and talked to another medical professional about my labs/blood work and Defy medicated me to Hyperthyroid for 3 total years and not only did they not catch it, they continued to over. Treat me for hypothyroid. My progesterone is .1 but started at 1.4 and with my symptoms being text book hyperthyroidism, how was that missed. I am now working to rebalance my system, and I hope sharing this helps someone else catch these patterns sooner and uses another company. Always double check these 'clinics'. I'm so disappointed I trusted my health and well-being to this Defy and I regret using them.
