I do not. I have my personal anecdote and experiences with common painkillers and LC. I've had it since January 2021 so there wasn't really anything known when I started taking aspirin outside of the many years of research as mentioned in OP's article. Here's my experience so far.

I've swapped aspirin about a year in for nattokinase and have noticed much better management. I still take aspirin here and there, but NK is doing its job.

Hope that helps you.

EDIT: I heard about triple anticoagulant therapy but never realized aspirin is included in it. Check out this study here: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2697680/v1

Just adding a +1 for long covid and aspirin, aspirin + CBD cream (Momma Canna Cream, I think only available in Canada) was a game changer for me! I rubbed the CBD cream into my head and neck and took bayer "daily" low dose aspirin till I started to feel normal again (brain fog cleared).

How long did it take?

Seemed like it was never going away, 9 months in to "long covid" I kept saying "this needs to clear soon, it should clear soon" - I was going nuts because of the brain fog (end of 2021 into 2022). Did a lot of research, saw the clotting and inflammation research so I put myself on aspirin and CBD, after about a week and a half/2 weeks I noticed a slight improvement, about 3 months thereafter things were getting back to normal. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I've really ever fully recovered from covid, but hard to say if it's covid, getting older, stress. Never the less, I feel personally confident that aspirin + cbd helped.

The degradation effect paper is authored by among others James Yu, Kate Hsu, Shinder Chen (employees of NK producer) and Ayako Ishii (company involved in NK supply chain). Take it with a grain of salt.
