Aspirin article I. Yesterday's daily mail

[CDreamer]

Did anyone else read it? Thought it was a persuasive article.

This is pretty much what we have been saying for some time. Watch this space! If FDA say don't use it how far behind are we in UK?

I read it and was impressed by the argument. I had always taken aspirin for headaches and thought that my stomach would tolerate anything. Two months on those tiddly 75 aspirin upset me badly. I know 2 people who were similarly afflicted. By contrast, warfarin has been a doddle.

I was on aspirin for 8 years, never had a problem though I bruised more easily than when I was on warfarin. My GP told me I could take aspirin on alternate days if I found I bruised too easily! I've lost count of the number of times aspirin has gone in and out of favour over the years. I thought the article gave a good explanation, especially considering it was the Mail!
