When they first showed how did you know they weren’t just normal bruises? My daughter is constantly covered in bruises but she’s extremely clumsy as well so I tend to brush it off but sometimes it feels off for her to have so many.

My son has been fighting this for almost 2 years. The amount of medications they have tried and how sick it made him was the hardest thing I’ve had to watch in my 34 years.

This happened to my son, started with uncontrollable nose bleeds followed by the bruising, I kept saying something is wrong, went down the google rabbit hole, took my son to pediatrician the next day, told his dr I think this is ITP, he immediately sent us to the children’s hospital ER, blood work showed he had no platelets, he was admitted for 3 days for IVIG treatment, followed by routine bloodwork for the next year to make sure his platelet levels stayed normal.

my son who's now 20. got it when he was 10 it is now chronic. while they have never been low enough for transfusions, we did have to treat him differently. no sports or things that could hit him in head or belly. then 6 months ago he was hit by a car doing 65 while he walked across a highway. he is fully healed and doing great. still has itp though

Why would a ton of random bruises be normal? That would send a signal to brain. Bc no matter what. It is not normal.

I remeber those days all to well! Our daughter is a ITP fighter as well. She was diagnosed at the age of 3. She is now 12 and an amazing dancer who doesn’t let ITP define her. Some of the strongest kids I know are ITP warriors!
