You were diagnosed 4 years ago? What have your counts been?
What was your count when you were sent to the hospital for platelets and IVIg?

There is a percentage of ITP'ers that only respond to IVIG and high doses of Nplate. If this is your case, Fostamatinib (aka Tavalisse) is a new drug and might be a good candidate to try.
