At 325mg a day, I was bleeding internally and had to quit taking it to stop bleeding. Not only that, but I was bruising just picking things up and my fingers and toes were hurting horribly. For some of us, aspirin is dangerous. Yet, doctors are still putting people on the daily aspirin regimen left and right, without regard to the fact that some of us have had a past with ulcers and other bleeding problems. Yes, aspirin is dangerous.
