Numbers aren't bad: For running with ITP, it's the petechiae, if few and localised shouldn't be a problem, running isn't a competitive sport, and should be rather encouraged, check this site for some guidance and confer with your doctor,http://guide2itp.com/ask-expert-itp-sports

I have ITP. Recently started taking EPO to help balance my hormones as well, but noticed bruises and petechiae. Is it in any way related to the EPO?

What causes petechiae on my legs and feet to come and go? I've had this occurring for the past two years now. Small, pinpoint reddish-brown dots appear on my legs/ankles/feet/beneath feet. Heat? Multiple CBCs done, all clear. Doctors say it happens?

Spontaneous bruising and petechiae for almost 6 months now. Had two normal cbc's w/diff (including liver function) after noticing. Bruises fade away then come back in same spots. Wondering what to do now?

Petechiae on legs, on and off for a few months. Had two normal cbcs (w diff). Only other symptoms are small bruises and occasional blood on stool (seeing a GI for that. Most likely unrelated). Should i continue to worry about the petechiae?

A member asked:

My son had a small petechiae rash on his ankle. His dr did a cbc w/ diff and it was completely normal. I noticed today that he still has the rash (mostly better) but now he has more petechiae slightly above the original rash. What could it be?
