My Health 
A reader wrote me this:
How is different on plavix? I take plavix along with 325 mg of aspirin daily,but am now quitting plavix because I want to, altho I have to back to cardiologist for my yearly check — I am sick of plavix, thought that was causing the bruising and bleeding like a stuck hog when I scratch myself a little — am also taking fish oil, vit. E, no gingko though but I do take a multi and other supps for eyes, etc.
I am getting over a broken leg and recently had a lot of body pain, which seemed to be better with low dosages of ibu — 400 mg, my primary said it would be ok, but I haven’t taken plavix in two days. I don’t know what to do, people say plavix is worthless and yet they stuff 4 or 5 down you when you have a heart cath, makes one afraid not to take the stuff. I hate plavix, as there are so many side affects and I don’t believe anybody really knows what it is doing to their body. Aspirin, I used to take all the time as a kid and now take with milk and doesn’t bother my stomach — not afraid of fish oil or natural supps but am very afraid of plavix.
