There are new media reports of blood clots being a major issue in patients who are seriously ill/die (including those who deteriorate quickly). Does it make sense to take aspirin prophylactically? Or once you think you have COVID?
Obviously daily aspirin is not without risk and I don't know enough to weigh it all. Does anyone have any actual knowledge about this? |

| I take daily baby aspirin because I have a genetic heart condition and my cardiologist said I should do so. He also said that so many doctors take daily baby aspirin not only for heart reasons, but because it cuts down on so many cancer risks. |

| I also take a daily aspirin. My OBGYN suggested it when I was trying to get pregnant. Then once I got pregnant, she had me keep taking it through the pregnancy. I decided I may as well keep taking it so I have ever since. I only have stopped before a surgery I had bc it can cause excess bleeding. |

What is Reye's Syndrome?
Reye's Syndrome: A Real and Present Danger Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack any child, teen, or adult without warning. All body organs are affected with the liver and brain suffering most seriously. While the cause and cure remain unknown, research has established a link between Reye's Syndrome and the use of aspirin and other salicylate containing medications, over the counter products, and topical use products. http://www.reyessyndrome.org/facts.html |

My ND recommends serrapeptase and nattokinase for coagulation issues. See here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24799449 These are the two I took: https://www.amazon.com/Cardiovascular-Research-Serraflazyme-Tablets-Count/dp/B00014DU16/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 https://www.amazon.com/Pure-Encapsulations-Nattokinase-Circulation-Function/dp/B0029X3KBM/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=99TMY972CNC7K3GZM6CS |

No they don't. Their bottom would corrode and fall out and they would be dragging their guts behind leaving a smudge so we would know who they are. |

I think PP meant 81 mg, which is a baby aspirin. Not 81 pills! |

Typically, Reye's syndrome begins after a viral infection, such as a cold, influenza, or chickenpox. Most such infections do not lead to Reye's syndrome, and some cases are so mild that no one notices. Other cases are more serious. Although adults and babies can develop Reye's syndrome, it usually occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 16. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and drowsiness. There is also a change in behavior, and patients may act irrationally and seem to have lost touch with reality. If untreated, Reye's syndrome can cause loss of consciousness, coma, and death. Reye's syndrome causes the brain and liver to swell and the liver to develop fatty deposits. The chemistry of the blood and other body fluids becomes abnormal. No one is sure how some viral infections develop into Reye's syndrome. Some doctors suspect that an unidentified virus causes Reye's syndrome. Others theorize that people with certain genes * are more likely to get it. Some studies in the 1980s linked aspirin to the development of Reye's syndrome (see sidebar). Reye's Syndrome warning on aspirin box. © Leonard Lessin, Peter Arnold, Inc. HISTORY OF REYE SYNDROME The children always arrived at the Australian hospital on the verge of death. They often would be unconscious or in a coma. Sometimes their bodies suffered uncontrollable spasms, and the children seemed to be slipping into insanity. It was a tragic—and puzzling—situation. Only a week or so earlier, the children had been experiencing the typical childhood infections such as earaches, chest colds, or sore throats. Then things took a turn for the worse. Dr. Douglas Reye was the director of pathology at that Australian hospital when these children died in the 1950s and early 1960s. He discovered odd things, such as swollen brains, discolored livers, and damaged kidneys in the children. He realized that they were dealing with an as yet unnamed disease. In 1963, a doctor in North Carolina named George Johnson saw a link between the disease Reye had discovered and one he was seeing in children after an outbreak of influenza. The disease was initially called Reye-Johnson syndrome and is now simply Reye's syndrome. Read more: http://www.humanillnesses.com/original/Pre-Sei/Reye-s-Syndrome.html#ixzz6KRnVBZk4 |
