Please watch your meds.

Hi All,

As I stated the other day my husbands counts were very low and he was receiveing platlets again plus blood. I decided to read about platlets, as I had not got that far in my research.

My husband was taking 325 mg. of aspirin aday which was on his medical information. From what I was reading he did not need to be taking this due to the effects it has on platlets. So I called his doctor, guess who was right, me! He told me to have him discontunine his aspirin till futher notice, that someway it had got by him.

Please make sure that when going to doctor he realizes what meds you are on! We give my husbands doctor a list every time, but sometimes they are so busy that they don't really see them.

So if you have low platlets and are taking aspirin, please ask your doctor about it!
