Dear enigma and uni girl,
By the way, thanks nemesis. This sort of stuff is a process. Enigma, I dont think there is much of a difference between blue blue and violet blue. If you arent a smoker, and even if you are, tell a doc about that. Uni, yeah, most people go on until their mid forties and have many, many hospitalizations before this is arrived at. Whats interesting is that the porphyria may be aquired, instead of the usual genetic form, since in the genetic form your only missing one or two enzymes, and I'm missing at least seven. It can happen through environmental exposure, so we're checking that out. But they think that many chronic illnesses like Gulf War Syndrome, and some chronic fatigue, may result from the body's inability to synthesize its own hemoglobin. Mine seems to be along these lines, so I'll either have to get hematin injections once or twice, or load up on glucose and carbs. Just picked up some glucose tablets at the store, actually. You might want to see if this causes your odd headaches and chronic fatigue like symptoms. If anything improves when you eat carbs, sugar, or drink orange juice, it could be a mild case. You came to mind immediately when I was thinking of people on the site who could benefit from the info. Take care.
Peace
