Hi @hoytm40,
Fellow ITP members like @rojo36 @hi2l @mjpm2406 @melody12 may also join in to share their experiences.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) used to be called "Formerly known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura". Immune thrombocytopenia is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets — the cells that help blood clot.This disease is caused by an immune reaction against one's own platelets.

Naviv, you asked about foods and supplements that might help increase your platelets. Here's an article that might interest you.

Eating certain foods and taking supplements may help to increase your platelet count. Your care team can help make the right recommendations for you. Be sure to tell your doctor about any ongoing thrombocytopenia symptoms. If you have a very low platelet count, you may need medical treatment to avoid serious complications.

@hoytm40 and @naiviv do either of you have pre-existing autoimmune conditions?

My Dr. also diagnosed me with this my platelets drop to 30 but nothing has worked so the treatment to do is IVIG and they won’t do that tell I’m 20 or lower I find my head killing me is there any suggestions to what I should do

My doctor has also been diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) but is not sure what is causing it. Would also like to know.
