    Taking a class on Migraines in the hospital, I was shocked to see that a lot of the signs of a stroke were almost identical to a Migraine. Check it out on the Internet, it'll surprise you. But everyone should be alert to a stroke. And don't worry about going to the hospital, it's better to be sent home with no stroke, than to go there far too late.

    http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/aspirin.asp

    Sorry I usually check snopes for accuracy on emails that float in my mailbox.

    Decide for yourselves. The part about the crystal aspirins is very interesting...too much aspirin and caffeine!

    I had no chest pain...it was in the center of my back. Lots of sweating and difficulty breathing. Laid down (not knowing) and it got worse. Thank God DH was home and drove me to ER...CHF. Had been coughing for 5 mos. and didn't pay attention to it (thought it was sinus infection from being in a barn with critters). Now I take my meds and only drink decaf coffee and tea. Thanks for the heads up/FYI

    when they say "dissolve an aspirin", or "chew an aspirin" while waiting for the EMTs, do they mean full strength aspirin or the 81mg aspirin I take daily?
    I've heard both versions.

    Thanks in advance.
    It's amazing the wide range of info we can get here. :thumbup:
