I am taking a small amount of Predisone/cortisol (4mg/day), it is greatly helping with my shoulders, knee and groin area. I am supposed to take a baby aspirin every day, I havn't been taking the aspirin but I am concerned about it, is there any reason that there would be a problem with the Predisone/aspirin, of course I wouldn't take them together, but some hours apart.

Thank you, my EP has wanted me to take a baby aspirin for years because of my AF episodes, nothing else, he did want me to take Coumadin but I couldn't take it so he said to take a baby aspirin. Doesn't sound as if it is prudent to take an aspirin as long as I am taking the Predisone/cortisol.

I did answer you in a previous post about showing Dr. Brownstein what you had written in regards to cortisol being a natural hormone and the other hormones one should be taking when using Predisone/Cortisol combo, he agreed.

If the baby aspirin is solely intended as an AFIB-related stroke preventative without also having any history of CVD type heart disease, then its pretty much a waste of time and the risk/reward has been shown now to be not worthwhile in numerous large longer term studies that have published their findings over the last number of years.

Aspirin 'may' have some additional benefits too such as some claimed, but not strongly supported, as an anticancer agent for some forms of cancer and some other possible benefits, but be careful with it too along with cortisol like hormone meds as the combination can increase likelihood of stomach and GI track irritation, bleeding and possible ulceration over time. Not as bad as NSAIDs but HC ( Hydrocortisone or bio-identical cortisol) for example is often best taken with food for that reason to reduce any possible stomach of intestinal irritation which aspirin is well known to be associated with as well.
