Aspirin is a wonder drug, or analgesic, that can be helpful or harmful. I started taking one a day baby aspirin when it was being touted as good for the heart and minimized attacks. I developed a serious allergy to aspirin which continues to this day. I feel it immediately when it is in any medication or application. My face swells and I itch and more. Throats can swell and cut off breathing. I did not have this permanent problem with aspirin until I overdid my use of it. Which applies to all medication.

You are an exception in your extreme reaction to aspirin. Exceptions aren’t the rule. It is good to understand theres a small chance of a reaction like this, but for the vast majority, that isn’t what is going to happen. Otherwise we’d see everyone that takes anything long term develop an allergy to it.

Yes! I actually was prescribed Celebrex for my knee replacement. It works great when my back is really hurting but I noticed an increase in eye migraines, My Opthamologist said to take one baby aspirin every two days. I only take Celebrex as needed.. When I got the shingles vaccine years ago as part of a clinical study, soon after I developed allergies to all of my blood pressure meds and the statin I had been taking for years. I am on all different drugs now for that (all of which cause drowsiness) and my BP is good.
