My sons ITP is back after 3 years 2 years 4 months ago #70214

Evansmom1 Offline Posts: 12 Thank you received: 1	My son was diagnosed with acute ITP at age 12, platelets hovered around 30 for about 6 months and then went back up. Now it’s 3 years later. I took him to his Dr cause he was feeling tired and depressed. Platelets are now at 14. I didn’t know this could come back! Is this common to show up periodically? Thank you in advance, this is just upsetting news.

Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.
