Very fortunate that I have not experienced any bleeding at all, even though my platelets were at 4 when I was diagnosed in 2006.

Since being diagnosed I have suffered one major bleed to the nose with blisters to the mouth despite a count of 10 or less at times.

The poll would benefit from a catagory for occassional bleeding

Thank you for the suggestion Sailor about occasional bleeding. I will run a follow up poll to address that next month.

Maybe it makes sense to make it multiple choice, and as for nose bleeding - probably it should be unusually strong nose bleeding? E.g. I suffered from nose bleedings when I was still ITP-free

Thank you for your comment lc1234 . I agree that multiple choice answers would help but HealthUnlocked do not provide for that so we have to structure the polls around that restriction.
