Hello,
I had acute ITP one year ago, was hospitalized with a platelet count of 3000 (3). Initially nothing worked. My platelet count dropped to 1000 (1). I don't know where you are located but I had an amazing hematologist in Appleton, WI, Dr Kathleen Hemauer. ( She is moving to the Milwaukee area in the near future).
IVIG, Dexamethasone, platelet transfusions did nothing. Initially N Plate didn't seem to be working either but eventually had a positive affect. I left the hospital on 80mg of prednisone with a platelet count of 12000 (12). Within about 4 weeks my platelet count was normal and I was off the prednisone in 60 days.
Dr. Hemauer is an intelligent, compassionate and dedicated doctor. I had a positive outcome and I credit her for that.
Best of luck to you, I hope you find the same quality of care that I was fortunate to have.
