@Bubba1028 posted:Update: My gastro doc connected with my neuro surgeon and they decided a smaller dose of aspirin -81mg instead of the 380mg they normally prescribe. They also normally prescribe Plavix and this time they’ll be prescribing a Brulenta which is a little bit stronger in preventing clots.
My gastro had his nurse call- he wants to see me bc of that and a recent drug-induced lupus diagnosis. The nurse hasn’t called me back in over a week in a half. I called today and they’re booked until mid-sept. My surgery is scheduled in August so that’s a little frustrating. I’m glad he’s supportive but idk why he wants to see me??
Make sure to take Aspirin with a snack or meal to coat the stomach.
