What is your immune thrombocytopenic purpura story? Let's share!

Hi, I dont really have much of a story. But I will share, I'll be happy if it helps someone.

I did a routine blood test about a year ago, I have been doing it regularly, every 2 years or so, my mum who is a hospital nurse, she insists on it, even if I'm relatively young, and don't have any health conditions. Well, didn't have, before they discoverred I have ITP. So anyway, I did this test, they discovered that the platelet count was low, at first my doctor said it was nothing to worry about, then I did the second test and it confirmed the count was too low. So he suggested I do other exams to try and find out what was wrong. I did lots of other blood tests, and I also had to do a bone marrow exam which was not exactly a pleasant experience. So here I am now, with my diagnosis, but still no symptoms, so no treatment. I know it can get pretty bad, and it is bad for some other patients, the doctor who diagnosed me said he knew a case back when he worked in Utah (I live in Michigan). That patient of his bruised very quickly, and had issues with bleeding, had to go to the emergency room a couple of times and all, so I consider myself really lucky!
