Promacta 75mg Tablets: Does anyone have experience with this platelet booster?

I've recently been prescribed Promacta 75mg Tablets for my ITP. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects and wanted to see if anyone else has experience with this medication. It's supposed to help my body make more platelets, which is great, but the list of side effects is pretty extensive. Has anyone else taken this for a similar condition, and if so, what was your experience? Did you have any of the more serious side effects mentioned? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm particularly worried about the neurological symptoms and changes in vision. I've also read that it can cause blood clots, which sounds pretty scary. If you've taken this medication, were you able to manage the side effects, and if so, how? I'm really hoping to hear from someone who has been through this and can provide some insight.
