Thanks for the query
To be sure that it is itp you will be required to have a low platelet count for atleast 6 months.
It is true that wyselone which is a steroid has a lot of side effects but in your case the benefits out weight the side effects
Go to a hawmotologist and ask for immunoglobulin therapy. It is a little expensive but well worth it
