One baby aspirin per day

Rich,
Aren't you taking fish oil as well (which is also anti-inflammatory)? Couldn't that raise the bleeding potential? I have bruising and easy bleeding issues without anemia and have been told to limit myself to one fish oil cap a day.

Tex and Granny,

That is the one I take.

Zizzle,

I was taking fish oil, but at the moment, I am pretty much taking flax seed oil (and eating olive oil with food, etc.).

FYI all. The low dose aspirin, I believe, is 81mg.

Tex, will ask my doc about Plavix.

I thought baby aspirin sounded like it might be a good idea for me till I did a tiny bit of research on it and read that it can backfire on a person when you stop taking it (in general - nothing to do with MC). I don't remember where I read this, but it was a trusted source. Which does not mean it's true -- I just decided I'd better not mess around. I know it's a good treatment for a lot of people.

Let us know what the doctor says
