Wish me luck, fellow Lounge Lizards. If all goes well, the banana pudding cage match is on for tonight :P

3. Haha, YOU think it's strange?
I get a little shock everytime I look in the mirror. I guess you never really get used to seeing yourself in shades of yellow, eh? :scared:

7. Yellow isn't exactly a natural color.
Are we talking skin or are the whites of your eyes lookin' a little yellowish too?

10. Definitely time to get yourself to an MD.
Definitely sounds like a jaundice/liver problem. Keep us updated!

8. Yeah, as in that
I'm now waiting for my mother to show up... she's convinced that I can't drive myself and I finally just gave in and told her to come.

11. Well, don't worry yet

my brother is a pathologist and one case they had was a toddler pooping bright green turds. They didn't know what to think and finally they figured out it was play-doh.

12. I know what caused it
I was on Cipro and apparently that was the cause. What I don't know is why I got better for awhile and now it's come back with a vengeance. Mother's finally here, so Im off now :hi:

14. best wishes belladonna...
Edited on Tue May-03-05 05:01 PM by faithnotgreed
im definitely no doctor
as others have said it seems evident that the liver isnt able to process what its getting in the process
incl red blood cell die-off , gallbladder

also medications can be hard on the liver

if youre interested and its appropriate milk thistle is fantastic support for the liver and is very easy to take in capsule form with no side effects

if youre up to it i would be interested if youre having any lymph node swelling at all which are throughout the body. you certainly dont need to answer this though and if its inappropriate to ask i do apologize

hope youre well
