My doctor thinks i've got something called henoch schnlein purpura (hsp) is this an illness i have to live with do i need to change my diet ?

See details: Diet has no value. This is a systemic vasculitis and is usually treated with prednisone, often in association with methotrexate. It often will resolve with time. Make sure the skin rash is biopsied.
