Welcome, @sherpik57. I moved your question about ITP to this existing discusion:
- Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP): What helps? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/idiopathic-thrombocytopenia-prpura-itp/

I did this so you can read through previous posts and connect easily with fellow ITP members like @naiviv @jimmyb63 @kewp @emcdanie2006 @tonyscrow @apb @gdavid143 @lulujuice @cathy07 and many others.

sherpik, has treatment been recommended for you? What questions do you have?

@sherpik57 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about ITP
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/idiopathic-thrombocytopenic-purpura/symptoms-causes/syc-20352325
Learn as much as you can about ITP because it will make it so much better for you. You’ll learn what questions to ask and not be afraid to ask them. I see that you also posted under blood disorders which is great. You should have lots of people answering you!
If I may ask, how did you find MC Connect?

I was diagnosed in 2017. What helps me most with living with TTp is to find a support group or family members to discuss fears, treatments, labs results and day to day conversations to ease the unknowing. I juice, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. I also take multivitamins, iron, Omega 3 fish oil and eat plenty of salmon and chicken. Will occasionally eat a steak for the iron. I also walk and exercise and lastly, I pray for complete healing. TTP is a rare blood disorder and you have to help your blood to stay as healthy as possible.

It can be scary….but your not alone.
