question: I have reoccurring purpura and patikia and was recently diagnosed with HSP. Even though I am now on 5 mg. prednisone a day this morning I woke and there were 100+ pin point patikia on my legs, thighs and stomach.  The hematologist says my platlette count is normal so what could be causing this?  I also have a reoccuring anemia with this condition.Is there something I should be worried about or ask questions to my doctor about?  Thanks.
