"First off ITP in children is usually an acute situation followed by a virus. This ITP is cureable. Now chronic ITP happens to adults. It is for sure an autoimmune disorder which I am sure you know that the platelets are killed off before..."
Thank you for your post. I appreciate your information and support. As far as Mayo Clinic, there is one here in Phoenix and I have heard of Dr. Whitmore but I don't think she treats patients at this Mayo Clinic. I have thought of it except for the fact that I am a single mom on disability with major medical bills already. Also, from what I know Mayo Clinic doesn't accept assignment for Medicare so you would have to pay upfront, pay a higher rate, and then after you file your own claims and medicare takes out your deductible and co-insurance you might get a small amount reimbursed. So, not sure it is an option for me but I would appreciate any info. Take care of yourself.
