I don't know if anyone has experience of this rather nasty auto immune reaction, but DD1 (3yrs)went down with it about 3 weeks ago. The bruising lasted about a week but luckily she didn't seem to suffer from any other symptoms and it hasn't recurred.
She was due to have a concotion of booster vaccinations last week but I postponed. However, she had an HSP followup check at the hospital yesterday and the consultant paediatrician told DH that it would be fine for her to have the jabs.
I'm worried that they will cause her immune system to go into overdrive again, and am inclined to postpone them for another couple of months when she'll have been clear for about 8 weeks.
Does anyone have any experience or advice?
