It is wise to take those lrecautions seriously. I wzs on prednisone once, and was tak8ng ginko biloba and aspirin at the same time just to get through the day energy-wise and as pain free as possible. Little did i know what was hzppening.

Long story short. I felt neauseus, snd went to a convenient store bathroom. Stood in fron t of sink, trying not to throw up. The room started spinning and immediately i knew “This aint good”.

Woke up wedged between the toilet and wall... blood and black puke all over me, all over the sink. The walls. I couldnt beleive how much there was. I was soaked in it.

Stumbled out of bathroom, and flsgged a cop over. He tok one look at me, at the bathroom and immedistely called ambulance and off i went to hospital.

Came very c.ose to dying that day. Had to get transfusions to stay alive.

Turns out the biloba, a blood thinner, and aspirin together is a no-no. Little did i realize. Caused stomach ulcer that bled.

Thanks for that forewarning. I will now give up my Gingko Biloba.
