THROMBOTIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA (TTP) made easy! Pathophysiology, Presentation and Management 

Finally a video that explains TTP succinctly and completely in less than 15 minutes! Thank you!

I was diagnozed with this back in 2018. Because I had two other autoimmune diseases at the time (only one had yet been diagnosed) that had similar symptoms, the medication of which had side effrcts including, and/or prevented them from presenting, I never got most of the warning symptoms before hand. I was pale, but we thought I had a hypoactive thyroid and slight anemia (turns out that was Hashimoto's) at the time. I have always bruised easily, I don't know why or how, but I had been told by doctors in the past that it's normal for people with Arthritis (of the Juvenile Rheumatoid variety that I had failed to "grow out of" as a, well, juvenile.) So no alarm bells there. Oh, and as for fevers? Yeah, I don't _do_ fevers (meaning: I am on tylenol consistantly enough that I haven't been able to get a fever in over a decade and a half!) So that one didn't work either. Needless to say, had a doctor in the ER I went to before being driven halfway across the city in an ambulance, not recognized it as TTP, I may still be in the hospital now. What did happen though was first the right aide of my body started to go numb, starting with my pinkie finger. It traveled acrossy body and then went away. Called the paramedics, then sent them away. Then it started again, we called them again and by the time they got to my house, I was mixing up my words. To save s WHOLE lot of time, I'll just say that I was in and out of both consciousness, and three seperate hospitals (one of them twice!) I remember little of it other than that I eventually was only capable of saying "birthday", "bathroom" and "yes." I know I had absolutely zero concept of time, and that I was a LOT more sensitive to touch than usual. The lightest pressure put me nearly through the ceiling. I remember that they were doing something to my hip which I learned as soon as I wasn't suffering acute brain damage, was most definitely NOT a second hip replacement. The mind is a strange and wonderful yes terrifying place. I also knew that I mad millions (billions? Millions. Millions? I don't remember) of tiny micro clots in my brain, I'm lucky to be alive, and that I am even luckier to not have any (noticeable if actually not a total lack of) brain damage. The staff in the MSICU were shocked to see a completely different person get wheeled up to her room than the actively dying, mostly unconscious one that climbed her huband like a tree because she was convinced he had not visited her in months, her son had been given to his bio dad who is on supervised visitation only, babbling on about either the strangest kink, or absolute worst theme for a birthday party ever! For the record, I was hit with it mid November and my son's birthday is 2 days after Christmas. I would go back and forth between being worried I missed it and he must have been so sad and feeling a pressure to get better soon so I don't miss it. Bathroom: I was SO worried about not being able to communicate, that I subconsciously forced myself to remember that word when the others began to slip away. It backfired though. If you can't say anything else, EVERYTHING becomes "bathroom" and the nurses were getting reeeeeeeeeally sick of the runaround l. Get the bedpan, oooup, nope, false alarm! Oh...oh she peed the bed. And then I get yelled at for not saying anything. Yeah, I was not a fan of the staff in that room. I understood though. After all, I was one of very few patients who were even conscious. Anyway I'm falling sleep! If anyone has any questions about my experience, please do let me know ^-^
