I don't know how long this will even stay on the front page but I have to give it a shot...

I was recently diagnosed with ITP... I was wondering if anyone else has ITP or has had ITP. And if so... what did they do for you? I was hospitalized and on steroids (10 a day for 4 days) then stopped... my platelet count went from 171 down to 80 in less then a week (oh and when i was hospitalized it was at 11). I'm back on steroids.. today was my last day (again 10 a day for 4 days). I'm very shaky, my legs feel like they are going to fall out from beneath me.. and my head feels like its floating.

Just looking for anyone who has been through this or knows whats coming next.. anything.

i don't know anyone that's had it so that's all i could really think to provide as far as possible treatments go. it sounds rather irritating to have to deal with.

I DO NOT HAVE THIS, AT LEAST NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A MORE UNUSUAL CONDITION - YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE LUCK HERE. THEY HAVE SUPPORT GROUPS FOR ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS AND YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ADVICE AND STUFF. AH, YES, YO - I PUT 'ITP' INTO THE SEARCH AND GOT A WHOLE HOST OF LINKS. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN ONE. THE SEARCH ALSO BRINGS UP VARIOUS FORUM DISCUSSIONS, WHERE YOU MIGHT SEE YOUR QUESTIONS ADDRESSED.
