I've been looking into this lately and I think I might sign up. Anyone know how bad the pain is? Of course the website for it says it's just some minor soreness for a few days

I've had bones ripped out of my body, and unless the price was incredibly high, I couldn't see myself doing it while I was alive. The pain for me was incredibly palpable and by far the worst I've experienced in my life. You'd have to give me at least 2 year pay for me to consider going through that again.

I have a bone disease where bones spurt out of random joints. Whenever I turned 15 and mostly stopped growing, they took out the 6 largest of them. One was the size of a baseball. It fricking sucked and I couldn't walk for 4 months after that.

Might not want to sign up for that. They're beginning to make really good progress with adult stem cells on this front.

Nope. Think they were disposed of. Asked my parents about it, but they said they were gone.

No. However, for quite some time I [have] wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.

I am on the bone marrow registry list. Just have never got called. I'd go thru any amount of pain necessary if it meant possibly saving someones life.

I roast it in. 400 degree oven then spread it on toasted French bread with parsley salad and sea salt.

I need to talk to a Dr this week to determine if I'm eligible this week.

Even if you sign up as a "bone marrow" donor, these days, it often actually means stem cell donation. I matched on the registry a few years ago and donated. I took Nupogen for a while to increase WBC count, which makes you feel like you have the flu with a little more joint pain. The aphaeresis procedure is just like giving blood, except needles in both arms and a little longer: blood out one arm, WBC filtered out, blood back in other arm. In my case, the worst part was the joint pain and it wasn't that bad.
You may never get this kind of chance to play a role in saving a life, so I recommend it.
