Seen the above report today. This is an implant that stimulates nerves in the neck for a few minutes each day, apparently has a big impact on arthritis sufferers. What really caught my eye, is that it appears to modulate the behaviour of the spleen. This could be really interesting for ITP.

That's pretty cool! I'm not sure how much it would do for ITP, but it looks like it could help many people with connective tissue disorders.

Some of that sounds really wonderful, but also pretty scary I must admit.
