Joe's vascular surgeon recommended this when he was in hospital because he had 2 blockages in his arm.  Is anyone else on this?

I had some problems with my fistula because of it being done wrong and the docs who opened it up recommended to me to take low dose aspirin to help it from clotting off.

Thank you for reminding me of this.  My nephro had told me that this was advised in my situation (I clot rather easily) and I had started to take them.  I even have a little bottle in my handbag.  But do I remember?
However, I have begun to be more compliant with all my medication, so I will add that to what I take.
Does anyone have any idea on what is the best time of the day to take them.
I take Norvasc and Avandia in the morning and Lipitor at night.

My cardiologist recommended I take low dose aspirin daily and my neph was ok with it. I find that I bruise easily sometimes and when that occurs, I take it every other day.

I take it due to clotting problems when cannulating. I take it in the morning.

I was given the aspirin to take after March's angiogram.  81mg. One a day.

When I was transplanted I was told not to take it. I didn't realize it was a good idea to take it once on hemo..

No asprin here but my father is on Plavix. Phew, he bleeds for an hour after dialysis. But he has to take it or he will have a stroke.
