Title: Blood type
Post by mickey on Nov 10^th, 2006, 7:39pm

I was talking to someone today who also suffers from headaches, Not ch's but still. And we got on the subject of blood. I am AB poss and I know that it is supposed to be pretty rare. I was wondering what others blood types are and if there might be a coalation here somewhere. Not sure what I'll get here but it dosn't hurt to ask. Thanks guys Mickey

Hello Mickey,

I dont know if there is any correlation between blood types and CH, there may very well be one, not that I have heard of though.

Of the ABO blood types and antiD Rhesus system, O and A pos are the most common and AB neg is the least common. The distribution varies a little from country to country though.

My husband's blood type is O positive, he is the one with CH.

LOL ! Thats nothing to be sorry for Artemis.

I have lived in numerous countries so I get pretty confused myself as to where I came from :P

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am doing researches for myself but not able to conduct real studies as in the medical journals. To do one of these you need to have a lot of time and funding.

All the best and painfree wishes to you.

Tim,

O Pos is the universal donor type, so you can give blood to everyone else but sadly you can only receive from another O Pos.

We knew you would be useful for something .. ;;D

Tim, I believe you are what's called a universal donor. I could be wrong - I may have the two switched around.

Don't know about blood group correlations. Doesn't seem likely to me that it has anything to do with CH. But, in any event--A negative.

Best,

George
