For most of my life aspirin was my wonder drug. When I had a headache or muscle pain nothing was better.

Now I can’t touch it because of chronic leukemia and low platelets. My doc allows me a 200 mg ibuprofen occasionally because it only makes my few platelets “slippery” for a few hours. Aspirin is right out because it makes platelets slippery for a week. For me a regimen of aspirin would pretty much guarantee a brain bleed eventually.

Sorry to hear of your infirmity.
