Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP): What helps?

Diagnosed with ITP, 27K, 6 weeks after second booster for Covid. Labs 6 months ago were normal. OVID search confirms a reported association.
Any idea if the booster would be a good idea? I have seen two hematologists who say they don't know.
Also, how much do I need to restrict my activity. Again, my doctors say they have no advice to give on that issue. I am 65 and riding my bicycle is one of my few pleasures.
Thanks for any ideas.

I’ve had Immune ITP x4 episodes over a 27-year span of time; unrelated to CoVid boosters. However, there is a very helpful website that may have up-to-date info on ITP and COVID/boosters. You can find it online: PDSA or Platelet Disorder Support Association. Good luck.
