Here is a new invisable illness I watched on a medical show called "Diagnosis X".
It's where you watch the show , they give you the patients symptoms, it's all re-enacted to where you guess what tests should be done, what are the possibilties of the diagnosis of the patients is.


A man came into the ER and had all the symptoms of Lupus, which got my attention. To rule out Lupus , the ER Dr. did all the proper blood work, nuerological exams, etc.

Then he remembered in his medical class about this almost unheard of diease called Porphyria.
He got a urine sample from the man, rushed outside with the urnine bottle, placed it in the sun. He waited and waited and evenually the urine turned purple in color.Waalaa! There was his diagnosis!!! Porphyria

The patient came in with horrible symptoms of a few years that got worse.
Joint pain, sweat, sleeping alot, fevers, and a rash on him.

I look normal, as I have an "Invisible Illness". You can not catch it, you can not see it. It's called Lupus.My body is attacking itself on the inside.
