Is Soreness In Mouth & Gums Common During ITP Infection?

In remission with ITP for 39 yrs, platelets still great but for the past 10+ years been getting mouth and gum sores, swollen and sometimes bleeding lips, can't tolerate most foods, etc. Have you heard of anything like this being related to ITP? Went again to primary doc today and he's sending me to another oral surgeon later this week. I've already seen a dentist, oral surgeon, allergist, dermatologist, ent and a couple gp. Thanks,
