HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH CHRONIC ITP BEEN A ROLLER COASTER?
Living with low platelet counts in chronic immune thrombocytopenia is hard, but managing chronic ITP with a TPO-RA medication doesn‘t have to be.
Treatment goal discussion
Having an open and honest conversation with your doctor can help lead to care that best fits all your needs.
Have other treatments not worked well enough for you? Is chronic ITP impacting your day-to-day life? Here are a few questions to ask yourself before starting the conversation with your doctor:
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, which can affect the treatment you and your doctor choose together.
- What is your most important treatment goal?
- Why does that goal matter to you?
- How do you feel about your current treatment?
- Is your current treatment helping you reach your goal?
- Does your current treatment affect your day-to-day life?
- Will this treatment affect any vaccines you may need to get?
- What side effects might these treatments have?
- How long will it take for these treatments to start working?
Certain chronic ITP treatments require injections for dosing or food-type restrictions [like restrictions on dairy or iron supplements] that may disrupt your routine.
- Are you worried about your platelet counts?
- Would you rather take a pill or get an injection for dosing?
- Would you be willing to plan your meals around your treatment?
- Will these treatments interact with any other medicines that you take or foods that you eat?
It‘s important to consider all of your options when choosing a treatment, including how it fits into your work schedule, ease of travel, and if you can afford it.
- Have you missed or had to skip any treatment doses in the last few months? If so, why?
- Do you regularly miss work to go to your doctor‘s appointments?
- Are you able to get to your doctor‘s appointments easily? (think: car, bus, train, etc)
- When, where, and for how long will you need to take these treatments?
- Are you having trouble affording your treatments?
