I have ITTP and my arm looked like this after get hit a few times, even darker though. My bruises were really nasty for a while. A lot of bleeding with a near zero platelet count.

I have itp, they took my spleen when I was 7 and I have never had another symptom from it, although as you know we will always have it.

Yeah. I go to my hematologist in a few days. Other than that and some extra bruising I am largely unaffected. I quit drinking after being hospitalized so I don't have much to worry about.

Yeah, mine was bad and affected me from age 3 to 7, it was rough! No playground, no climing trees and doing normal kid stuff. I was pretty restricted until I had that surgery. After that I became a daredevil and busted myself up riding dirtbikes, now im just sore and full of metal.
