  • I have Acute Intermittent Poyphyria. Adjusting my schedule to only be out after sundown has helped, plus keeping all windows in my home covered with heavy light-blocking drapes, wearing sunscreen if I have to go out, dark glasses (for eye protection), wearing a hat, no shorts or short-sleeved shirts and washing my clothes with SunGuard laundry detergent (adds UV protection to clothing). Plus above all else, educating others.

  • @Medewtysenu Although life can be tough, please do stay positive because metal health is also important for you(:

    It's okay to be different, the people who really love you won't mind about all these

    DON'T LOSE FAITH IN YOURSELF :'D <3

  • Besides, I've read stories of people who have lost their loved ones to this disease and I'm terribly sorry for them. It all makes me feel that I have it the easy way. My condolences to anyone who has lost someone, and to all those who're still battling: HANG IN THERE :)

  • It was brilliantly writen. So much so that it jerk a few tears from my eyes.

    I have been wanting to find out about it for a while now and you gave me all the information I needed.

    Thank You.
