Genevieve's ITP Journey

When I first came across PDSA, they happened to be hosting a meeting in Chicago so I went to that and met quite a few members. It was the first time I didn’t feel so isolated and to see people thriving in their everyday lives really brought me hope! That year the PDSA conference was held in the Chicago area which was perfect for me since I live close by. I was so impressed with everything about the first conference I attended. I met life long friends, learned some crucial information about different medications and ways to cope with some of the side effects etc.

I’ve been living with ITP since 2006 and within that first year is when my Mom came across the PDSA website. It’s been my support system, a place to get information that I know has been researched by top specialists and not AI answers, I love there’s free pamphlets and other education tools. It’s truly my lifeline to living with ITP. Thank you PDSA for all that you do!!!
