Craving
I crave aspirin. Do I have a deficiency?
Hello there,
You have to be careful with aspirin usage. I've heard it can cause stomach
bleeding if taken too much. It's not a good idea to self treat. Ask your
doctor's advice as to safe aspirin usage. One cannot just pop it in your
mouth ad infinitem without consequences. Someone advised you to take
naproxen ( anaprox). Just be aware that naproxen can cause cataracts.
Check with your doctor. I used to take naproxen occasionally for menstral
pain as it is also a muscle relaxant. Good luck. Eve
One cannot be deficient in aspirin. However you can overdose or get your stomach messed up. check w a doc. Maybe you are self treating for inflammation. Craving it like candy would be a problem. For pain and inflammation, I would rather use naproxen myself, it is every 12 hours so there is a longer active time there without re thrashing the stomach lining. Good luck.
