What about other anti-inflamatory drugs, such as aspirin?  I know we had a
thread about aspirin's DCS prevention abilities a while back, but what
about using it for DCS treatment?

I think that I have said befor that the big problem with aspirin that
is taught in medical semanars here in Germany is that once you get CNS
DCS symtoms, it make things worse. This is because it inhibits cloting
and so internal bleading in the CNS can cause even more problems. The
word here is no aspirin for prevention of DCS. They do admit that the
anticloting efect of aspirin can help prevent DCS, however if the 
danger of DCS is great enough to try to do something to prevent it, then
the chances of making things worse is large enough to worry about.
