http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyria

Porphyria is not common, but those who have it often have
autonomic symptoms, as well as redness of the skin when exposed to sunlight. Neuropathies are common with it.

Taking certain medications by people with Porphyria can induce an attack.

You can acquire it later in life or be born with it (genetic).
