Doctor ran some tests and I'm losing blood somewhere so on Iron
pills and have an ultrasound next week to see if they can find
where the missing blood is going. He wasn't overly concerned so
I won't worry about it yet either ,..
I'm betting ulcers.

Here's hoping that's what it is and not something more serious.

I don't take NSAIDs at all. However I take martini's for arthritis
pain.

So do I, but I can't convince Blue Cross to cover my prescription!

I've mentioned here before that I sometimes mess with the classic
formula by adding a third ingredient. I've tried adding a teaspoon
or two of Aperol, Triple Sec, Creme de Cassis and Galliano. All of
these additions turned out to make for a very tasty drink. But I'm
not alone; all of these are named cocktails. And I've found more in
recent months. Here's a couple of them:
