I asked the doctor and he said most likely not. But, I am not the same as before. I am not shy about my body anymore. I still don't like being overweight but who does??? Beside that, my personality is different. Not less but much more. I flirt like crazy. I am much more sexual than before. How can I explain this other than I got some traits from the transfusions!

was this a brain or a blood transfusion?

a transfusion replace the blood lost in your body but it would not change your DNA. The blood given will be destroyed by your immune system and the nutrients will be used to form new blood. In the mean time the donor blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients until it is reformed

It's hard to believe you think your DNA could be changed by a blood transfusion. Do you really think a blood transfusion will change the color of your eyes, hair, or skin? The shape of your nose, the size of your feet? COME ONE! DNA is like a blueprint. Changing the wallpaper doesn't change the building.
The thing you MIGHT want to think about is whether or not the blood that was transfused had been tested for diseases like AIDS, hepatitis, and so on. Those won't change your DNA, either, but the consequences could be devastating.

If I were still able to have children, they might have something from the donor that I had passed on to them.
What about your personality changed? What else around you changed? Did you lose a child, get into an accident, go through a divorce, lose a loved one, move, get a different job or lose your job, become a grandparent, gain or lose weight, experience spiritual enlightenment or disillusionment.....the list of what triggered changes is endless.
Think about the circumstances and situations that were affecting your life at that time, and over the past two years. Perhaps you can work backwards from how you think you are now to what was the instigation for the change. I'd be interested in knowing what you learn about yourself!
9/16 ZULUO: My eldest had some transfusions during his first month. He was premature and had some serious difficulties to overcome. I didn't even think of the possibility of "bad blood" until he was 6...I went to the blood bank to inquire about the blood he'd received. They assured me all the blood had been tested for years BEFORE he'd had his transfusions. (1986). Your comment brings back the concern, but I appreciate you telling me this!

You say that you flirt like crazy and are more sexual than before.
You must have been administered African-American blood. When you;re at a movie theater, have you noticed whether you now cannot stop yourself from talking while the movie is playing?

Lupe, as we mature, many of our beliefs, morals, and values change.
Being more in tune with "popular thinking" doesn't mean your personality has changed, just that you have either changed your mind about some things, have given up your stand on those things, have compromised your beliefs on some things, or have come to the conclusion that it's time to readjust your thinking on some things.
DNA doesn't have anything to do with your thought processess or the effect of life around you. And, whatever you do, DON'T believe what "toneet" wrote. That is some of the most incredible delusion I've ever heard (award-winning).

My husband had serious, open-chest surgery to remove a mass, and it scared him tremendously. His personality definitely changed afterward he told me. ( This was shortly before I met him). H e said going through something traumatic like that made him see life in a in a whole new and different way than he had before. He became more outgoing in his personality, but also more serious. I think going through major events in our lives can draw out different aspects of our personalities to help us cope in some way.

Years ago, my uncle had a heart attack and it changed him.First of all, he quit smoking and drinking. My aunt said , ''Now, if he could just learn to quit swearing '' laff
Anyway, another way he changed was ---he used to like to swim and dance. He quit both of those activities.....My aunt said it was b/c he thought he'd have another heart attack. My mother said he was more fun before his heart attack.I think many post heart attack victims change b/c they suffer from PTSD .

i believe that it could be possible. Your atoms are entangled with the donors atoms which form
an instantaneousness communication port which could interfere with your normal communication
patterns thus cause a reaction of interference
