Not here in UK. I tried to donate blood after i was already diagnosed but I said I was self injecting Extavia because I've got MS so they refused to take any, thanked me for all my previous donations and said I can still help by encouraging others to donate.

I donated until I aged out of being able to donate

I was told that we may not donate blood, but we may donate organs. They can inform the organ recipient of the MS and the possibility of transmission. They are not sure if MS can be transmitted through donation.
