I take it for general immune system strengthening.
I take it because I used to get lots of nose bleeds, that stopped when my mom started giving me vitamin C. Being a fan of not having nose bleeds, I keep taking the C. Last winter, when we started seeing a lot of stories about D deficiency and how it causes some odd aches and pains, Daniel suggested I try it (can't hurt, might help). Lo, and Behold! 2 grand a day does make certain foot and leg pain disappear for me.
Two grand a day of the other type would make a lot of life's pains go away.
P-C, I recommend you report the vehicle as sustaining a Hit and Run with witness.
I also take C for general immune boosting. If I get a minor cold and my lungs decide to get involved, I am sick for a month. And since I work with the public...
Iofunn, all about me, I woke the entire household up with a 4am asthma attack.

Pet~ma to you, Aims. I hope Ollie's thing was just a minor sprain or something.
Ollie-ma, Aims. I hope it is nothing major.
I hope Ollie's alright, Aims.
Pet~ma, Aims. Brandy has had her back legs give out for a few days then improve a number of times. Always breaks my heart.
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends aspirin for men aged 45-79 and women aged 55-79, as long as the prevention of heart problems outweighs the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. They do NOT recommend preventive aspirin for men younger than 45 or women younger than 55.
My Mom had a intestinal hemorrage last year. A few more minutes between her office and the hospital and we could have lost her. She was taken off her blood-thinners.
So, from a completely non-sciency POV, I wouldn't go on an asprin regimen unless explicitly instructed to do so.
