ITP and geographical location!

ITP and geographical location! was created by Melanie37


Hi everyone!

As part of my own little personal, mini-ITP (newly diagnosed adult ITP) research, I wanted to see what part of the country/world everyone lives in! I'm wondering if ITP/autoimmune disorders have more of a geographical incidence to them.

I live in NYC now, but I'm originally form the Midwest.

Newcastle, Australia, although the docs don't think I have ITP now, it is all related to my T.A.R syndrome

PA here. Someone used to actually have a map with ITP'ers located on it. I don't know if it's still around. Anyone remember who did it?

The map was done by Frapper Maps but I just clicked on my link and it's gone. It was interesting to see where everyone is.

you gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad
love what you've got and remember what you had.
always forgive, but never forget
learn from your mistakes but never regret.
people change, things go wrong, but just remember:
life goes on!

Hi Cindy,
Yes, we have 18,000 horses! Norco is like an old west town in the middle of Southern California (it's called Horse Town USA--our trademark). We also have a few camels, llamas, some cows, sheep, and other animals.
