I feel I must comment, my brother had ITP, at the time it was discovered that he had it, only one doctor knew what it was. As kids I remember him having (and please forgive my spelling) petikiai and get his platlette count done, often registering as zero.

In 2005 he had his spleen removed which seemed to stem the platlette issue, but he had to take penicillin for the rest of his life.

At the end of 2006 he developed an unknown blood disorder which sadly contributed to a blood clot which killed him on 2nd January 2007.

I remember so well all the time we spent in hospital with him, how when his count was low, that even a tiny cut could bleed for hours, and how sick he could get.

Thank you, don't worry too much it's something that can be controlled, one comment I saw earlier said he was 41 with no trouble, chin up and keep smiling :)

If you want more info feel free to message me I will try and help as much as I can, I'm not google but the symptoms you describe are consistent with ITP, my brother was diagnosed when he was 8 and died at 26, depending on how bad it is, it can be controlled with steroids (didn't work for my brother, just made home quite fat which was a source of amusement for a while) but a splenectomy should be a last resort. Hope all goes well for you.
