Hi lynne graham,
I would be fine taking an aspirin daily, but oddly enough after my former and never met in person after four cancellations primary doctor recommended that I take daily aspirin via a phone message from her office recommended I do, the H/O I did meet with for an appointment once sent me a message later not to take the aspirin. That is the only reason I have not taken the baby aspirin daily and I do have that here in case that changes. It really seems so incompetent that docs cannot communicate with one another in a supposed “care team” they advertise for mine. Only because I feel fine and have no symptoms and normal BP when I check daily on approved new monitor is why I really not do anything differently at this time and take no meds, just the same vitamins I have taken for years. Thankfully my platelets have gone done significantly by about one third by my doing no treatment and nothing differently. I am slowly recovering from a cough I have had for a while which started on a family vacation to Europe this past summer. I do make sure to get one hour of brisk exercise daily which is super simple for me to do as my adult daughter lives with us and has an exercise class in additional to her other academic college class again. That requires to her keep a daily log and we bike ride five or six days per week, do yoga and stretching, light hand held weighs at least two days per week. and a daily one mile walk daily. Maybe that is why I sleep so well and have no symptoms which I am very blessed to say I know. 😊
Thanks for listening and I am grateful for your insightful posts.
