ITP children

Wello my daughter was diagnosed with the rare type. We have tried several treatments and I did not like the steroid one. We just got her latest blood count back and found it dropped alot. Is there anything we can do at home to help keep her counts up. Does a change of diet help? If so please help. Thanks. A sad Dad.

Im looking for others that have children with ITP,my daughter has just been diagnosed,and I need some insight.

and so far there has been no change in Haley's condition. Kelly is missing minti and will come back as soon as she is able to

and wondering how everybody is going. Brielle has been doing really well. No signs of low platelets for quite some time so we are crossing our fingers that it may have gone .

Hi everyone! well if you have read my profile you'd know my daughter has ITP, Ive only recently found out a few months ago. Im taking Hayley back to the hospital on the 14th of feb to discuss treatment because she dosen't seem to be improving. If you'd like to read my whole story on Hayley's ITP just go to my profile and click on my advise section. I'll pop back in to keep you all up to date with whats going on with Hayley  : )

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give some ideas of food that we avoid with doug during cold and flu season and when sickness is in the air.  Pineapple, dark chocolate, grape juice.  There are also meds that we don't give him.

Another thing that is good for platelets is Jello.

Hi everyone,

My name is Sandy and my 6 year old son has itp.  He has a rare case.  He isn't chronic and he isn't acute.  I'm looking forward to meeting other families who have children with itp.
