As someone who has had ITP since 1998, I am interested in constantly learning about ITP. I am now on Promacta.

Very Good Information for parents. My 8 year daughter diagnosed w/ itp. IVIG, Anti D, Rituximab, Spleennectomy have not been effective. Considering doing nothing except what is necessary to address bleeding. Been given option of Romipiostim, Mercaptopurine, Dapson, or Mycophenolate. Trying to learn as much as possible about these drugs.

My daughter was dx w/ITP at age 15, not on any meds or sick at time. Platlet count 7000. Had 2 tx of IVIG with icrease to 125,000. Immediately dropped again and took 1 yr to reach 100,000 wo formal tx. She took 10,000mg of vitamin C everyday.I begged dr. to give Prednisone but wanted to see if she could recover on her own.Has been 100 or above for 2 yrs. When her count goes down she has headache,light headedness, epigastric pain. We see Dr. Sujit Sheth at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital in Manhattan NY, Columbia Presbyterian, thank God we found him. Thought she may have Lupus,all tests negative for 5 yrs,and no symptoms of Lupus except ITP. Thanks for all you do.
