I've been reading and trying to find resources for this condition. I just got hit with it out of the blue and it landed me in the hospital for 8 days or so. It got real serious and quite scary when they were talking about removing organs and constant blood and platelet transfusions. As there is no known specific cause for this disease it is difficult to research. Has anyone who has been to SW Asia, 2007-2008, had any problems with coming down with this? If so what treatment path did you take and how are you managing with the choices you made.

I too was in the Navy and served over in the Persian Gulf during the Gulf war. During transit, we received many vaccinations and many became ill; including, myself within 24 hrs of receiving the vacc

I developed ITP shortly after returning from Vietnam in 1968. Was diagnosed in early 1970s and we watched my platelet count drop to zero and my doctor said, "You are going to the hospital right now!"
