I AM A PORPHYRIA
PATIENT
Please Help Me!
I Need Intervention Therapy IMMEDIATELY!
Hello! I have come to you to seek emergency
medical interventional therapy for my disease
called Porphyria.
I have a diagnosis of Porphyria
and sometimes I find myself with an acute hepatic
porphyria attack, like I am experiencing now.
This is NOT A PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESS.
Often porphyria patients have been MISDIAGNOSED
as being psychological rather than the physical
illness that it is.
Timely Intervention Therapy must now be the
number one priority! 0nly the quick
administration of IVGlucose therapy will bring
the acute attack under control and stop the over-production
of porphyrin which is causing the acute attack.
Please IMMEDIATELY
BEGIN my IV glucose and secure my
Laboratory tests. Second, but also most
important is that of pain control, nausea and
vomiting control, and spasm or seizure control.
Porphyria today affects 1:1,000 of the population.
I know that you may not know too much about
Porphyria. I understand that you have hundreds of
patients with hundreds of other diseases and
diseases which are much more familiar.
I have Porphyria and I have spent much time
learning about my disease.
Please DO NOT consider it an insult if
I try to HELP YOU treat my disease.
My disease is an inherited disease which has many
symptoms.
An acute attack can be caused by an UNSAFE DRUGS,
lack of carbohydrate, menses, alcohol and various
other chemical toxins which are called
triggers. 0ther illness can also exacerbate
an acute attack.
The symptoms I experience during an acute attack
are caused because of the overproduction of
porphyrin in my liver. The only thing that will
stop this problem is a high intake of GLUCOSE,
which is called Intervention Therapy.
Such therapy includes [1] Glucose [2]
Pain control [3] Spasm or seizure control and [4]
Nausea and Vomiting control. I may
need help with Constipation as well.
If left untreated my symptoms will continue to
worsen and there is POTENTIAL FOR EXACERBATION of
symptoms including psychological, and the
potentia for liver damage, bulbar paresis and
possible respiratory failure, as well as mental
change. Please watch my Electrolyte
Balances. Peripheral neuropathy is very much a
symptom of an acute attack and may continue after
the sttack goes into remission. Physical therapy
and nerve stimulation is most necessary during an
attack.
Please DO NOT treat me with UNSAFE DRUGS.
Many drugs can cause an acute attack.
Please carefully review my UNSAFE DRUG list.
AVOID any of these known UNSAFE drugs as they
could cause my death.
I have experienced the symptoms of this illness
many times.
I am familiar with my body and the symptoms that
I am experiencing.
The longer I wait the more pain I have and the
more mental confusion I will experience.
I HAVE MY DIAGNOSIS.
Please DO NOT DELAY THERAPY by running
additional endoscopies, GI series, colonoscopies,
lapadectomies, barium enemas CT Scans or x-rays.
These procedures only delay my recovery and
expose me to possible Unsafe Drugs and moreover
unnecessary medical expenses.
Thank you for beginning my THERAPY
IMMEDIATELY!
Thank you for HELPING me!
