Hey 🙋🏻♀️
My name is Georgia, and I was recently diagnosed with ITP.
It sounds scarier than it is, especially when you hear the full name.
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. See?
What is ITP? It’s a blood disorder which means my platelet count is really low due to an unknown cause.
Basically, it’s a rare auto immune disorder which makes my blood not clot properly.
Like I said, it sounds scarier than it is.
I’m not saying it’s not serious, (because it can be, and some people definitely have it worse than me) I’m just not going to let it define me, or be scared to live my life because of it.
I don’t know what type of blog this will be, but in time you will know my secrets, my struggles, how I arrived at this point and where I will go from here. It’s pretty interesting stuff to be honest.
I would never have expected to tell anyone about my life. In fact I’ve never had anything interesting enough to happen in my life to tell anyone about it.
I don’t have a bad life, it’s just been pretty PG and normal up until this point.
So this is my story.
Well, just the beginning of it really.
Feel free to share it and follow me to hear more of it.
I'm in no way a doctor or a specialist. I'm still learning about ITP myself.
What else would you be interested to know?
Does anyone you know have ITP? I would love to hear about it.
Until next time, Georgia x
