    I did a search on my own and came up with your site, then it worked.

    #14, not a good idea

    I also don't need a hickey concealer but all the others are interesting.

    ?????? ..okay, what does it say???:D

    I always thought aspirin was a wonder drug. I was taking B.C. powders everyday for years ..(back pain mostly) .. and about two years ago I found out the dangers of too much aspirin.
    It can do major damage to your stomach, in high doses, and can kill if too much damage is done.

    They have big NSAIDS warnings on aspirin products ... but you know, the old "it affects others, not you" type of thing..:oops:... I learned.

    Doctors seem to think it's safe. I would go along with that, until they change their collective minds.

    What I was doing, was taking 845 mgs. with one BC Power ... only good thing about that, never had to worry about blood clots.:rolleyes:
    There is coated aspirin too. Heart doctors tell their patients to take Ecotrin. (325 mg)

    I take the coated 81mg. I don't even know why I take it, just decided once and then just kept taking it.

    After reading Mayo clinic's info, I'm not going to stop.

    What happens if you stop taking aspirin every day?

    You might be surprised to learn that stopping daily aspirin therapy can have a rebound effect that may increase your risk of heart attack. If you have had a heart attack or a stent placed in one or more of your heart arteries, stopping daily aspirin therapy can lead to a life-threatening heart attack.

    If you have been taking daily aspirin therapy and want to stop, it's important to talk to your doctor before making any changes. Suddenly stopping daily aspirin therapy could have a rebound effect that may trigger a blood clot.

    Yes. My wife takes one every day, on doctor's advice, I do one every other day.

    Edit: Do you use the enteric coated (slow-release) variety, supposedly protects the lining of the stomach?
