I had ITP about 15 years ago and unfortunately for myself after 6 months of every treatment possible my platelets couldn’t rebound. I ended up having to have my spleen removed. After the removal I have been fine. I did find out that I have a genetic bleeding disorder Von Willebrand after the ITP.

I have been dealing with an ITP diagnosis for 1 1/2 years….platelets on a seesaw the whole time. Can you tell me how they finally diagnosed Von Willebrand for you?
