Urvashi Agarwal was diagnosed with a rare health condition – here's how it changed her life for the better
In early 2018 I noticed that I had started to bruise a bit. Given that I was a non-bruiser, I found it odd. As months progressed, I noticed feeling a more exhausted and the development of petechiae - pinpoint, round spots that form on the skin.
I was referred for a blood test and hours later the NHS called telling me to pack a bag and go to the nearest hospital or accept an ambulance to collect me. My platelet count had dropped to 8,000 - the normal range is 150,000-450,000. Anything under 10,000 is considered dangerous and at risk of hemorrhaging.
The medication I took for ITP meant my life was a bit of a haze and after three months of treatment, I decided to take some time out and go on a health retreat on my own.I went to an incredible place called Kamalaya in Koh Samui, where I locked my phone in a safe, had no interactions with the outside world or did any work.
This increase in sleep and reduction of stress helped my body repair itself better, improving my platelet count and easing my ITP symptoms.Sleep and stress are such huge problems for so many people and can become a vicious cycle. You need sleep to manage stress better, but stress prevents you from sleeping and CBD helped me break this cycle.JP's OriginalsI launched three teas/infusions created to support you through the day.
