Re: Re: Scripps/ASA desens- the yellow book

[Guest guest]

hi Carol..I am curious as to how high of an aspirin dose did you titrated too and what does will you stay on? I went to a physician a week or so ago and was challenged and given a total dose of a 325 mg tablet over a 4 hour period...stayed on that for a week and have increased it to 2 tablets a day and then will be going back to see him for a follow up..... thanks <choconeener@...> wrote: Hi Carol. I just went through the desensitization with Dr. son at Scripps but I'm not

sure which yellow binder you're referring to. The following is a link to the patient's guide that Scripps puts out or I have a hard copy of Dr. son's research paper that I can copy and mail to you if you'd like. (or you can purchase it online, I believe.) I had a great experience with my desensitization and would be happy to help you out if I can.http://www.scripps.org/pdf/asp_des_pgm.pdf--- In samters , "Carol" <shedokdo@...> wrote:>> Does anyone have a copy of the yellow binder from Scripps with all the info about ASA desens and would be willing to part with it for about a month?
