Hi Merle, do you remember some of the key points about the baby aspirin article you read here? I can try to help you find it.

Things that might help me find it: What was it about the article that led you to decide not to take the baby aspirin any longer? What triggered your concern?

concern no#1 for me was bleeding should I fall etc. I have probably been lucky not to have fallen etc at 91 but I am ultra careful…but accidents happen! It is a gamble in my opinion! I really don’t want to try and interpret article…it was/is very long! Think it is very worth reading anyone with ET!!

I think my age 91 was big factor…. and fact that at that age if I have other issues where bleeding could be involved, as I do,
(and probably most folks above ??? age do) then maybe best to consider other avenues to reduce platelets! Just saying that the Mayo article seemed to me to be the most in depth that I have come across! There may be other articles that take different tact and if so I would love to read them!
