I am from beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I was diagnosed with Variegate Porphyria in May 1997. It is an inherited, rare and complex
metabolic disease in which the nervous system and skin can be affected.
Information about porphyria and places to meet others with porphyria can be found at my
Links page.
In Memory of Jacquie, is Mary's page
dedicated to her daughter, Jacquie, who was diagnosed with porphyria in
November of 1996. Mara's Porphyria Journey is her
personal porphyria story.
A special thanks
to my family and IRC friend,
Don, for their support and Mara and Mary, for sharing their stories. |
