Aspirin is an anti-coagulant so it thins your blood. If your blood needs thinning, great. If not, it can cause nose bleeds and over-bleeding when you get a cut or something.

If your Dr has prescribed it then great, he will have his reasons.

I just mean that it is dangerous to self medicate. I wasn't meaning that no-one should be on it unless they have a blood disorder.

I just see lots of people on these boards (and others) telling each other to take it - without sufficient advice from their Drs - and it worries me.
