About Me and My Disease...

I have a Rare Genetic Blood Disease! It's called Porphyria, there are different types of Porphyria. I have CoProPorphyria. You can't catch it, unless your my child then you've got a 50% chance of getting it. I've been very sick my entire life. I used to be a lot sicker than what I am now, but by the Grace Of God I am alive and have made it this far. It's a long story about my sickness, so I won't bore you with details. But I'm only 26 and I've had this my entire life! I'm trying to cope with "growing" up and not being able to do normal things as other people my age. I don't have the energy I should to do the things I need. But with the help of God I make it through each day. At one point the disease was about to take my life, but God being merciful towards me saved me from death. Anyways, I am sick, and most of the time I'm in denial and don't like to admit it, but I am. I don't know what all there doing for cures, but I do know it is tough to find a cure or treatment for a blood disease. Because it's our blood, it's not like it's a virus you can kill, we need our blood to live and unless they can completely regenetize the blood, I'm not sure what can be done in way of a cure. There are treatments, but it for when it's beyond bad. I guess cause the treatment could be worse than the problems we have. Anyways, so aside from the fact I live with a smoker, (which doesn't help my porphyria out) and that I have a rare blood disease, the only other thing to know about me is I'd like to become a makeup artist and finish beauty school. I started, but all the chemicals (blood disease affected) made me sick and I had to take a break. If it's totally impossible for me to be around all the chemicals all day, I am going to get my journalism degree as I love to write and have all my life. Ok enough about me, just thank God that He still heals people today, I'm living proof of that, I have faith beyond reason, and I know that someday all these diseases everyone can get will all be ok.
