I was diagnosed with this when I was 11 - my platlets are still on the lower range, 80k to 100k usually. I'm 23 now, and still get them checked regularly. I went through a lot of different treatments, but I kept my spleen. I got better only after a really long time of being on a really high dose of steroids (yea chipmunk cheeks!), but doctors also figure I may have grown out of it.

Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.
