Have any of you had to take aspirin for about a week to help you cope with pain? And if so, did you have any discomfort in the way of side effects?
(only following recommended dosage)
If you did, what were they?
I've been taking aspirin for a couple days now and I just have a very slight ringing in my ears and my appetite has been suppressed.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Lady Hannah,
Both are typical of normal OTC recommended doseage side effects of aspirin. Increased blood to inner each due to thinner blood causes the ringing. If, when you go to a very quiet room and after a minute or 2 [ like bedtime] it does not seem to become twice as loud, that's a bad sign, if it feels like pressure, similar to a suffy nose, also bad, in either case you should let your doctor know the next day or sooner if not inconvenient for either of you.
The appetite loss is your stomach saying "ouch" , altho not yet serious the loss of a little lining is no biggie if you have no digestive problems. Its like loosing snot, it seems to become replaced quite rapidly. If you ever get painful or cramppish/bloated feeling, or if tightness seems to not allow you to take a deep breath without discomfort, or you feel like you haven't eaten in a couple of days and your stomach's walls are rubbing, or any lasting stomach pain [can be sharp, stabbibg-like, or heartburn-like,] call doc.
I self-medicated migraines with aspirin and rotted out my stomach, made less for them to cut out, and a less expensive surgery.! Happy to offer my experience.

Thankyou Mr. Mosey
How long were you taking aspirin for and did you take the recommended dosage?
Are you still getting migraines?
My stomach isn't too bad, just a tad off'ish but, I'm a worry-wart where medicines are concerned and I don't want to "wreck" anything. Anyway, thanks.
