——aspirin is a blood thinner——
As one who took a 325 mg aspirin tablet for years when I was both diabetic and very heavy, I was free of lots of symptoms that were experienced by my peers.
As I lost weight I became susceptable to bruises on my hands and arms.
I was advised the best course was to cease the aspirin altogether. It took literally months for the bruising to cease. I still get blue marks from various small wacks but no blue arms from just working.
I still carry and recommend carrying an Altoid box with two aspirin to be chewed if I feel a stroke or coronary coming on
You won't feel the one that 'gets' you. My mother-in-law's boyfriend just died of a stroke back in September. She said he said, "I feel dizzy," and dropped dead and that was it..................
