Woman suffering from a rare condition has to learn her husband divorced her every single day

[post_page_title]Disease affecting 1 in 10,000 people[/post_page_title]
Porphyria, the condition at the heart of all of Veronika’s troubles, is actually not one disease but several. The one thing they have in common is unusually high levels of porphyrins, which are chemicals ordinarily found in the bloodstream. These high levels can result in damage to the skin, the nervous system or both, with flare-ups of the condition lasting anywhere from days to whole weeks.

In extreme cases, even paralysis may be a symptom. Porphyria is quite rare, especially in its more acute incarnations, such as the one Veronika was afflicted with. Generally speaking, it’s believed that only one in 10,000 people suffer from this condition. But on the whole, few have it worse than this young woman.
