hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
tiredness is not part of ITP.
it could be due to steroids. steroids can cause tiredness and restless ness.
but your saying tiredness is before starting steroid, other causes should be ruled out .
important cause i would consider here is anemia, it can cause fatigue , restlessness, and breathing problems. get one complete blood picture to rule out any anemia.
if symptoms are increasing, difficulty in breathing please consult doctor for further investigation and management.
do not stop steroid abruptly for any reason
regards
