ITP does not discrimate when it strikes its next victim. It affects the young and old, rich and poor all over the world. Dealing with this blood disorder is no easy task. The fear and frustration of not knowing where the roller coaster will take us next can be daunting.

This blog is for ITPers to express thoughts, feelings and lessons learned during their ride. Send your post to greta799@yahoo.com. We want to hear from you.

Hello, my fellow ITPers.

Below is an email I received this morning. It is directed to the parents of children diagnosed with ITP.  I'll leave it up to you to research MedQuery and decide if you want to participate.

I do not know the company or the person who sent the email. I am not endorsing this company and am not receiving any compensation for posting this on our blog. 


Hi Greta,
My name is Della and I work for a company called MedQuery based in Chicago, IL. MedQuery is a medical market research company and we are hired by pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies to conduct paid market research interviews and surveys for them. The reason I am reaching out to you is because we have a market research opportunity and I hoping your organization could help us reach the parents of children diagnosed with ITP. This is in no means a sales approach or solicitation. We are simply interested in hearing from the parents to understand the day to day impact this diagnosis has made on their child’s life/on their life and any areas of unmet needs whether it is referencing pharmaceuticals, educational information, support groups or even physician familiarity etc.
The interview would be a 60 minute telephone interview on the topic of Latest Developments for Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. In appreciation for participating, we are paying respondents $150 and they would need to complete a short homework assignment 1 week prior to the interview. The interviews are being conducted from January 10th - January 24th so we are hoping you can send this out as soon as possible.
I was hoping you would be able to post this on your blog and if anyone is interested they can directly contact us at MedQuery. Please call Jackie, recruiting manager, at 312-241-1649 to see if you qualify to participate. WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP and we look forward to hearing from the blog members.
Thanks in advance!

  2. I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
