My mother has been having problems for
about 1 yr. With her platelets being to
low. She received a called today from her
Dr. Saying they were 3.0 critical. What
kind of Dr. Do I need to get her to.
Isn't this dangerous to continue for so
long? Is this some kind of disorder does
it have a name?
Thanks, sheila

Hello shelia,i read an old post regarding
platelets or idiopathic thrombocyto penic
purpura ,my son had this some years ago
and I must admit it frightened the life
out of me as I didnt know what this
was,anyway first ofall dont worry,you may
already have found the info you need but
if not just type in i.T.P and there is
loads of info available to you,but do feel
free to email me if you wish,patricia.
