Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have ITP. It is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. In this there is immune mediated destruction of the platelets take place. So it will reduce your platelets count. Treatment is immunosuppressive drugs like steroids. It will help you to decrease destruction of platelets and platelets count is maintained. Continue with your vitamins and take steroids according to your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
