Hi Linda, I'm sorry to hear that your head is killing you with your platelets below 30, but that treatment won't start until you're 20 or lower. I'm tagging fellow members like @georgie2 @jimmyb63 @ggloss @dorisj08 @teresa1holland @merchant700 @naiviv to offer their tips.

How are you doing today? Any updates?

I suffered Migraine headaches with history of ITP for years taking Migraine RX meds only seemed to help the pain reduce and not eliminate them. Until about 5 yrs. ago I started taking 500 mg Magnesium daily. I went from 4-5 headaches a month to maybe 4-5 a year and not as debilitating. One time I bought 250mg strength and started getting headaches again so I know taking the right mg is also key for me. Might try Magnesium, I am hopeful this may help you. I just buy over counter no specific brand.
