Are people with Fibromyalgia eligible to donate blood?

Our local blood bank has in the brochure you must read before giving that if you have fibromyalgia you cannot give blood.

Yes, because there is nothing about the condition that might present a risk to a blood recipient. Fibromyalgia is not transmitted through the blood, but rests in a basic malfunction of the individual’s body in a very specific way. It is not the condition that would provide a reason to reject the blood, it is the presence of certain drugs in the bloodstream that were taken too closely to the time at which the donation is offered.
