You know I'm almost embarrassed to ask (and I can't the post-transplant people until tomorrow) since it's been over a year since I've had my transplant but I remember being told not to take something ever again and I thought it was aspirin. Was anyone else told something similar?

I know Ibuprofen, Aleve and other non-asprin NSAIDS are to be avoided.   Aspring and Tylenol may be OK, but be sure you hear it from your medical team before swallowing.  The stakes are too great to follow internet advice.

Simon Dog is right about NSAIDS.  I personally was told to avoid aspirin as some of the other drugs most tx patients take already contain anticoagulant compounds, so Tylenol is the preferred option for pain/fever relief.  But of course you need to check with your own tx team.

I was told yes to Tylenol, no to aspirin and NSAIDs although they let me take a baby aspirin a day.

My neph has had me on daily aspirin for many, many years. The transplant docs know about it and have no objection. I avoid ibuprofen for the most part, but they're OK with it if I take one occasionally. Tylenol is the first choice though.

Tylenol is doled out like candy by the medical profession.  And yet it can be a dangerous drug--for the liver.  It is a method of choice for suicide for a sector of the population since overdosing can lead to liver failure.  So take it, but treat it with respect. http://www.medicinenet.com/tylenol_liver_damage/article.htm

FDA reduced the daily allowable dose of Tynenol from 4000 to 3000 to hopefully prevent creating liver problems.

I've have been a LONG TIME user of both Tylenol, aspirin, and NSAI's.

The aspirin thinned my blood so much I had to be very careful as I bruised, or bled from even the smallest bumps and scratches.

The NSAI's over all these years have greatly contributed to my kidney failure.

I still take Tylenol.

Be sure to double check with your Dr.
