Is aspirin really bad for you?

[Dana]

i hear its bad for your liver then there are sites that say its not.

I've heard with all NSAIDS could cause it. Just depends on how often you take them. If you aren't going over board you should be fine.

I've also heard that an Aspirin a day keeps the heart attacks away. lol

It was for Bruce Lee.

My mom has been taking at least one asprin a day for most of my life. Her most recent blood work (December 2010) showed her liver being perfect. That's the only experience I have with asprin though.

Just ask your doctor. If he/she says it's ok for you, then so be it. It all depends on blood type, blood pressure, etc. It thins out your blood, so, say you're anemic, it could be bad for you.

my mother took an aspirin a day for three years without talking to her doctor and it caused some thyroid issues. she has since stopped

its aceteminaphine (sp) that messes with your liver...aka tylenol not asprin.

My mom had me terrified of aspirin growing up.

 

[Dana]

i really don't use it often as i don't get migraines. Plus i can't take anything on my coumadin. i used to pop 4 after a night of drinking and sleep of my headaches.

That's horrible.

 

[Dana]

That's horrible.

Whats horrible? popping aspirin to cure my hangover or the fact i cant take aspirin on coumadin? :24:

 

[edgray]

use ibuprofen Dana, far more effective.

 

[Dana]

Supposedly I'm allowed ibuprofen .

 

[edgray]

I find it best for getting rid of headaches.

your specific blood type has nothing to do with taking medication.

acetaminophen

thats because of Reyes syndrome that little kids can get from taking it

yes thats it

Just an FYI Dana you should not be taking ANY Asprin while you are using Coumadin unless your doctor prescribed both to you in combination with each other.... I am surprised they did not tell you this.
