Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
ITP is immuno thrombocytopenic purpura. In ITP there is a immune mediated destruction of platelets. So main treatment is immunosuppressive drugs like steroids. You should continue with steroids to maintain your platelets count.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
