The Vampire Condition: Porphyria

13:59 Feb 13 2009
Times Read: 698


I originally posted this to a thread about psi/sang vampires and our needs as far as feeding in response to another members misleading post stating that NO ONE on this site had a legitimate need to drink/ingest blood. I have the "Vampire Condition" and I know the pain it can cause if left untreated. This post is hopefully a way for others who may have the condition or just enjoy the science of the occult as it were, to learn something more and to be active in the research and diagnosis of their own medicine. It is after all, their life, and NO ONE should/can care more about their life than them.





Id just like to bring to your attention the Porphyria aspect of this post. There are (to my knowledge) eight different kinds of porphyria. At least 6 of these do require to some extent the ingestion of blood coupled with certain steroid medications without which, a porphyrian (the medical term for Vampire) would die.

To say that NO ONE on these boards has a physiological NEED to drink blood is not only ignorant of medicine, but misleading to people who might actually need the medical attention required of a presenting porphyrian, which is usually about the age of 15-22, the average age range of this site.

While I recognize that porphyria is often an extremely difficult diagnosis, and can be a very dangerous one because the treatments can have horrible side effects including death and total organ failure causing most physicians to diagnose everything but porphyria until it is the only possible thing left, I still must persist that the saying that "the vampire condition" does not exist is most unwise.

For anyone who feels this is only a life style by proxy, I certainly suggest that you do your best to be proactive in your treatment, research the symptoms, research the treatment and research and contact doctors and specialists if you feel that, after your research, you have multiple of the key symptoms. If you dont, you may well not ever be treated for what you have and that can be a VERY hard road to be on for the rest of your life.
