    my great grandma had a sunlight sensitivity as well. her car had specially tinted windows, she'd do most of her shopping around sunset and would still go out with her sunhat, sunglasses, and gloves. that is, when she wasn't able to have a child or grandchild run errands for her. i always remember her revving up her lawnmower at 7 or 8pm to go take care of her yard. for a woman 'not allowed' in the sun, she had one of the most beautiful yards i had ever seen. beautiful flowering bushes all over and willow trees by her creek. she'd sit out during sunrise all dressed up for the sun and wave at the trains as they passed by, and they would always blow their horn and wave to her as well.

    While I don't have her condition, I do have borderline severe eczema. Its a nuisance every day. Then I get break outs and flare ups. In my own way, I understand the frustration of skin. Sometimes it does get so bad that wearing clothes is painful, showering is painful and i cannot sleep. Problem with sun is when it gets too hot, sweat is bad and too dry is bad. I have no happy medium. Thankfully I only get sunburns but to get cancer as a result. What a trial. I dont know any different for my skin and neither would she. I think people underestimate how your skin can really cause problems and its the largest organ in the body.

    These are the tell tell signs of porphyria. All the symptoms are here burning skin, sensitive to light, blistering, and if she did a urine test or a smear it would turn pink. Only thing that can be done is do not expose to light, wear sunscreen with an SPF rating on 10 or above, and if it comes to it she will need her blood filtered because one of the symptoms of porphyria is urine or smear test turning the color of your sex pink for females and blue for males and in extreme cases purple. People have died from this they call it the Royal Disease, The Madnesses of King George, Vlad's Blight, and Vampire Disease became Vlad the Impaler had it and which is where the vampire myths come from. Porphyria is fatal but treatable as long as you don't exposure who has it to light.

    That disease doesn’t seem likely at all. The Wikipedia says that it usually comes in “attacks” and this disease doesn’t just affect the skin. From the Wikipedia on porphyria, “Symptoms of an attack include abdominal pain, chest pain, vomiting, confusion, constipation, fever, high blood pressure, and high heart rate.” None one these symptoms were even hinted at, let alone discussed, in the video. I’m not claiming to be a medical professional but not meeting most of the criteria, probably means you don’t have that disease.

    She has a definite diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum. This is confirmed by blood test. It would be extremely unlikely to have both porphyria and xeroderma. The color of urine in acute porphyria is pretty noticeable and does not depend on whether the patient is male or female. Dr. Google/Wikipedia strikes again.
