All my Drs want me to take 81mg aspirin
My docs want me on aspirin in addition to the plavix also. I had been taking aspirin but I began to motice bruising in odd places on my body...like my boobs! And being a diabetic I have to take insulin injections several times a day so I had huge bruises every place I put a needle.
A year and a half ago I got an accidental severe cut on my lower leg and the bleeding was horrendous. I lost 2/3 of a cup of blood in seconds and had difficulty controlling it with a lot of direct pressure.
And the doctor wants me to continue the aspirin! I even quit smoking as they said it was the cause of my problems. Apparently it’s not.
All I know is that if I were in a car accident and got injuries, the likelihood of surviving till the ambulance arrived is very reduced.
I quit the aspirin and the random bruising stopped. I don’t intend to use the aspirin except for pain.
