Yeah, I hear you. This has always been a mystery to me. I can only share my own 40 years of experience. That’s all.

Back in the early 2000s I used to take a high mg aspirin daily as a precautionary measure (to avoid having one). I later learned that wasn’t very wise because of how NSAIDs can cause internal bleeding.

Now I take an NSAID as soon as symptoms begin.

For me I probably experience one of these maybe once every 45 to 60 days.
