ITP and Allergies/Inflammation was created by debby1
Hi. It's well past time that I introduced myself. This wonderful group of people is an absolute lifeline for ITPers. I am a 58 year old woman in Calgary, Alberta. I was diagnosed with ITP 2 years ago and have been monitored by my hemo and treated with IVIG before 2 foot surgeries to keep my count above 50. The past few months my allergies/sensitivities have become more noteable. Could this a part of ITP, the autoimmune system running amok or something else? I am a fixture at my dr.'s office so I shall be mentioning this to him.

Autoimmune disorders can come in groups sometimes, meaning that if you have one, you may be prone to others. Allergies can come with the territory. I had allergies long before ITP; eczema as a child and nasal allergies as an adult. It's not really ITP related, just autoimmune-related. Hopefully you can control it easily.
