Hi there,
just saw your question re Porphyria. My brother (now lives in seattle) has had it since he was a child. Severe reactions to sun and wind. swelling, pain etc. Parents thought is was a bad sun burn until he got blood confirmation years later. 2 of his children (in their 30's ) now have it. they have all been on an new experimental drug for a couple of years. actual and control placebo etc. it has worked amazing! his skin pigment has changed. are you interested in the name etc?
cheers

Do you know which type on porphyria he/they have? you

Thanks for the info. Just found my way in. My trouble is getting it diagnosed. The Docs have all done one test and said no. That is not how it works as I have found out.
