Re: aspirin desensitisation (DIY) questions

[Guest guest]

Dawn,

I haven't done it and my recommendation on this list (which is not

shared by everyone) is always NOT to do it by yourself. So I would

say however you do it you should make sure you have an easy way to

get to the emergency room and are under a doctor's observation.

It scares me when you use the words " deathly intolerant. " Are you

also " deathly intolerant " to aspirin?

Where have you seen/heard that 81 milligrams a day o other amounts

less than 650 milligrams a day are helpful for Samters? I have

certainly not heard that. I took 1300 milligrams a day and amount

less than they were not helpful. I took Ascriptin and absolutely

always took it with meals, and never had long-term or short-term

stomach problems from the aspirin while taking it for seven years.

This is not true for everybody, but it is possible not to have

stomach problems from it. The stomach problems I had before I was

desensitized happened because I was taking the aspirin and not

desensitized. I was very very sick to my stomach and vomited DURING

the desensitization, actually.

Whatever you do, please be very careful.

I did the DIY desensitisation and had no problems starting with 5 mg

and going up to where I take 650 mg twice daily now. I was extremely

sensitive and got very sick on 25mg the first time I tried. My

quailty of life is much better now as I had reactions to all kinds

of foods before the desensitisation. I now take the aspirin and

Singulair and have no asthma and few problems with polyps.

I have a study where they got good results with desensitisation and

then a maintanence dose of 100mg daily. I don't know where they

found 100mg aspirin. You want to go to a higher level than your

maintenance level. I would recomend you go at least to 650mg before

you drop to your maintenance dose. I tried 325mg daily and it didn't

work for me but everyone is different. Please email me if you have

any questions.

Honestly, I hope Dawn checks back in soon! I'm worried about her now.
