ITP is such a mysterious disease! Sometimes I have no symptoms at 25k but bruising, gum bleeds and nosebleeds at 45k. Last year I felt fine, no symptoms, until a nosebleed that wouldn't quit, and found that my count was 10k. Steroids can also change the way your body reacts to low platelets. Good luck to you, and hope you feel better!
