ITP can refer to:
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia, primary immune thrombocytopenia, primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura or autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, is defined as isolated low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with normal bone marrow and the absence of other causes of thrombocytopenia. It causes a characteristic purpuric rash and an increased tendency to bleed. Two distinct clinical syndromes manifest as an acute condition in children and a chronic condition in adults. The acute form often follows an infection and has a spontaneous resolution within two months. Chronic immune thrombocytopenia persists longer than six months with a specific cause being unknown.
ITP is an autoimmune disease with antibodies detectable against several platelet surface antigens.
ITP is diagnosed by a low platelet count in a complete blood count (a common blood test). However, since the diagnosis depends on the exclusion of other causes of a low platelet count, additional investigations (such as a bone marrow biopsy) may be necessary in some cases.

Feel too good to go to work today
I need a little more time so I can stay this way
Let's go for a ride on the circle line
Couldn't you use a day in the sunshine
Mustn't let your bank payments get behind
The bills may pile up, I just brush them off my mind
I can't let debt collectors bother me
Because I feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
I can't remember when I felt so high
My mind is on vacation and I don't know why
Wouldn't you like to go for a country drive
Doesn't it make you feel good to be alive
Luncheon by the roadside will do just fine
I left the water running
It just must have slipped my mind
Can't let the little things bother me
Because I feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
Someone's bound to bring you down
There's a strange speaking man on the front lawn
Making rude noises and gestures
It's just the neighbor's got something on his mind
Feel too good
I can't let frenchie start to bother me
Because I feel too good
