My ITP Journey

Why we exist

No one should face ITP feeling unprepared or alone.

My ITP Journey was born from one patient’s frightening diagnosis, a lifelong pull toward helping others, and the belief that a clearer health story can make an uncertain appointment feel a little less overwhelming.

A note from the founder

A patient-built tool for a clearer ITP journey.

My background includes emergency medical training and hands-on resident care. Those experiences showed me how much clear information, thoughtful preparation, and compassionate communication can matter during medical care.

On Leap Day in 2024, after a sudden health scare and a long series of tests, I was diagnosed with ITP. The uncertainty, the hospital experience, and the flood of conflicting information were frightening. I am grateful to be in remission, but I remember what it felt like not to know what came next.

That experience became My ITP Journey—a simple way to record symptoms, photos, platelet counts, medicines, and appointments, then bring a calm, organized summary to a care team.
