I was on 80mg of pred when I first got ITP. It didn't help me so I was weaned off and will not have to take it again. Yay! I take Promacta and it is working well for me.
It is early days yet but steroids should only be taken for a short time. If there is no perminent improvement after 3-4 months, it is time to consider an alternative of which there are plenty.
pls start vitamin c chewable tablets 1000mg / day it really works
