“Could”

[Red Badger]

I take two 81 mg every morning on orders from my cardiologist. I had a blood clot in my leg in 2020 and a quad by-pass a month later....................................

[ClearCase_guy]

New thinking on the super trendy topic of Blood Clots and how to minimize their danger.

Because reasons.

Eliquis is $500 a month!...................

Aspirin is cheap - but the Warfarin /s

Actually this article is poorly written. It’s not that taking aspirin ALONE to thin your blood is bad - but if you’re already taking Warfarin then you’re doing enough.

Ginger is a natural blood thinner. One cuppa ginger tea a day keeps the cardiologist at bay (of course you need to watch your fats and triglycerides too)

Don’t take aspirin if your on a blood thinner is not news. It goes along with not taking green leafy vegetables, NSAID’s etc. They have different mechanisms of action that may compliment each other.

I actually know someone in our area who died from taking aspirin on an empty stomach recently. It stuck to the wall of his stomach near a vessel or something and he bled to death internally. The guy was a veterinarian too so you would think he wouldn’t do that.

[ifinnegan]

Yes.

I always take food with mine.................

How did we Boomers ever survive to be adults, being given orange-flavored aspirin as small children and then regular aspirin, after we acquired the taste for them... along with playing in the back seat while one of our parents drove 70 mph on a two lane highway... and falling off bikes while not wearing protective helmets and knee and elbow pads?

I was on Warfarin in the hospital for 3 weeks.

They had to do blood tests constantly.

My arm looked like a pincushion!..................

Ginger is a natural blood thinner.

Yeah, she always made my blood thin a bit as it filled the nether regions.....

[deport]

Gotta watch out for dem boomers

[oldplayer]

Skywise, you are exactly right. This “journal” has made a habit of this.
