Can I Have Baby Aspirin For Chronic Inflammation?

default
Posted on Mon, 1 Dec 2014
Question: I've asked this question before but get a variety of different opinions depending on the doctor. I have some autoimmune history (chronic elevated calcium, borderline crp, high Rheumatoid factor, etc.) and a family history of arthritis and lupus. I've also been diagnosed with LPR by an ENT and have taken omeprazole on and off. I have chronic on and off pain. Considering both the benefits and risks (risks being bleeding) what is your opinion on taking a baby asprin daily to help moderate some of the chronic inflammation that seems to be present in autoimmuine conditions? I don't have a particularly high family risk/history of heart disease or cancer.
