Adrian was diagnosed with the genetic disease Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) when he was 5. Exposure to light causes him excruciating pain. He has absolute light intolerance. EPP is characterised by the accumulation of toxic compounds in the body of patients. Exposing an EPP patients skin to light, particularly blue light, causes excruciating pain, an intense burning, stinging heat. Adrian describes EPP as similar to having badly sunburnt skin scrubbed with a wire brush. Swelling and blistering can also form after extended sun exposure. Even artificial lights, such as those in supermarkets and laptop screens can cause acute pain. EPP is a lifelong disorder presenting in early childhood. The onset of the disease is traumatic for both children and parents. Sun avoidance is the mainstay of treatment for EPP patients who are often forced to remain indoors, severely affecting their quality of life. Eventually a nocturnal existence is the only way of life for many porphyria patients. Currently, there is no proven effective treatment or prevention method for EPP.

Repo! The Genetic Opera Greatest movie EVER!!! lyrics SHILO I'm...infected I'm infected by your genetics Shilo, I'm the doctor Shilo, I'm your father Oh, Shilo, that was close! Take your medicine I'm infected by your genetics Shilo, you're my patient Shilo, be more patient You have limitations, don't go chasing flies I must be protective You cannot be reckless That's what is expected when you are infected I'm infected by your genetics I'm infected by your genetics And I don't think that I can be fixed No, I don't think that I can be fixed Tell me why, oh why are my genetics such a bitch? It's this blood condition Damn this blood condition! Mother can you hear me? Thanks for the disease! Now I am sequestered Part of the collection That's what is expected when you are infected That's what is expected when you are infected That's what is expected when you are infected How much of it's genetics? How much of it is fate? How much of it depends on the choices that we make? He says I have her eyes, did I also inherit his shame? Is heredity the corporate, 'cause stop it or am I a slave? I'm infected by your genetics I'm infected by your genetics What hope has a girl who is sick? My dream of a life past this fence It really makes no difference 'Cause I know that I'll never be fixed Tell me why, oh why are my genetics such a bitch? Oh, I want to go outside Outside Oh, I want to go outside Outside Song # 4 of 22
