I wouldn't be laughing at age. I was only 50 and healthy as a horse. The Doctors have never been able to give me a reason why I clotted and stroked. When I was in the rehab hospital there were a 4 year old and an eighteen month old already admitted due to a stroke. My hematologist takes Plavix as a prophylactic and believes everyone, regardless of age, should be on it.

I know a couple of people who get knocked out by taking one benadryl tablet.

That is my Mom. It does not touch me as most sedatives/relaxant(Valium for an example) have very little effect on me.

On a side note, I refuse to take acetaminophen [Tylenol]. I feel much safer [a have better results] taking ibuprofen, Aleve or even aspirin.

The only two analgesics the Doctor has approved for me is Tylenol or Alleve. Neither touch my pain. I do have some class three narcotics prescribed to me that I take if I have a "boomer" of a migraine.

My doctor also recommends against a 325mg aspirin daily. I do like the Water Pik.

Same with hickeys. Heard about young people getting a stroke caused by a hickey.


I've never been asked about a hickey, although I have never been found of showing the world my sexual endeavors, so I've ever had a hickey..

No. One of my Mom's friends did Stoke right after she saw a Chiropractor.

I was 50 and healthy as a horse. 6' 180ibs. no problem sleeping, low blood pressure (118/68 last time I had a doctors visit), low cholesterol and did not smoke. The first question doctors asked me ( 7 initially) was if I smoked. The second, if I had been to a Chiropractor.

I had a stroke. It was a fluke and they have never determined a reason. I am on a low dose aspirin. I was also on Plavix but I bruised like crazy. My Hematologist takes a low dose aspirin and Plavix as a prophylactic. I agree with running this by your doctor first. One med to be careful of is testosterone as it increases the diameter of red blood cells.
