A member asked:

Dr says i've immune low platelets & vasculitis. 28f lifelong martial artist+runner. if i'm careful, can i still bleed? are they as serious as i read?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How low?: Mild immune thrombocytopenia is basically harmless, a disease of the lab tests. If your platelets are around 50,000 or below, I'd get a couple of opinions. I'd also insist on a more specific diagnosis that "vasculitis". Do you perhaps have lupus? How has the workup proceeded? I'm very glad you're exercising and if impact sports become a problem, consider swimming (my sport).
