Hi, it's nice to see that there are forums for people with this strange disease.
In my case, I didn't have any symptoms, it was during a routine bloodwork that I discovered tht my platelet count was low. Several tests and exams later I got my diagnosis

I had these small bumps on my skin, its called petekiah (sp?) and I always get a ton of nose bleeds. I didn't find out until much later about ITP, I was shocked when I found out both of those things are related.

@LizziB I have not tried Papaya leaf. The only thing in terms of diet I have found to help is to avoid alcohol and to decrease or avoid refined sugar. My platelets still drop but it seems not as much. My low platelets are due to auto-immune disease. My doctor however says there is nothing in terms of diet that helps. thanks, Lynette
