Many readers tell us that they find The Platelet a 'lifeline'. When first diagnosed, people with ITP often feel isolated and frightened to have a disease with a complicated name that they have never heard of before. Those with a chronic condition (long term ITP) can become frustrated that their treatment has been unsuccessful and want to know all the available options to manage their condition. The Platelet offers up to date ITP information and reassurance, and helps ITP patients to feel supported and understood.

The Platelet is available free to our members, if you would like to join the ITP Support Association and have access to the Platelet and other free information leaflets then join our association today Click here to join >>>
