Jimmy, hematologists specializing in ITP are available at all 3 Mayo Clinic locations and in the Mayo Clinic Health System.
Welcome @tammielou and @julesknox, interesting that you were both diagnosed with ITP at ages 9 and 8, respectively and found different effective treatments. Like Tammie, @treslynetteaba also had a splenectomy and Jules had intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG). Jules, I'm glad that this IVIG has had a long lasting effect for you.
Are there any precautions that you still take having had thrombocytopenic purpura?
