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.

Let's Get the Word Out! New Book about ITP


 My Purple Patch by Anthony Heard




ITP turned my world upside down. It probably did the same thing to you. It's mind-boggling to be diagnosed with a blood disorder you have never heard of before. That's why we are trying to spread the word about ITP so no more newly diagnosed ITPers have to wander around in the dark wondering what is happening to them.

Anthony Heard works tirelessly to keep us up to date with the latest information concerning ITP. Through his work with the ITP Support Association, his blog, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets, Anthony offers support to ITPers worldwide.


His latest venture is a book relating his experiences with ITP. 

My Purple Patch answers many of the questions asked by ITPers and their caregivers such as:

  • What is ITP?
  • What are the symptoms?
  • How is it diagnosed and treatments available?
  • What do we actually know about ITP?
  • Alternative and natural remedies
  • Traveling with ITP
  • and much more
My Purple Patch is available in paperback and e-book editions. Pick up a copy for yourself, your friends and family, and/or anyone else you know who has this blood disorder or wants to learn more about ITP.
