My ITP went kaboom last Tues. and landed me in the hospital, again. As we try to get a handle on the malady, I am trying to understand it through paintings. There are three elements that I’m going to focus on. Platelets (that may or may not look like pickles), Antibodies, and my Immune Response ( IR). Short explanation of the problem is that my IR detects antibodies on my platelets, and throws out everything! Normal platelet level is 300,000. Last Wed. mine were down to 6,000. Bleeding is a big concern! This is not a medical illustration, but a learning journey.
