Yes, ITP can occur in RA patients, especially those on TNF inhibitors like Etanercept. Your low ESR is good, but you should:

Get regular blood count monitoring
Watch for unusual bruising/bleeding
Tell your rheumatologist about any ITP concerns
Consider platelet count testing
Always discuss concerns with your healthcare team - they know your full medical history.
