And, what would y'all consider good preventative care? I like that I stumbled on a thread that might help me figure some things out, so tia!
I should note, I have had several (nurses) people in my family and church comment on my yellow complexion in the last few months, but I really believe it is because I started eating more orange/yellow veggies. Thoughts?
Unless you have been eating tonnes of carrots you should go to your doctor because jaundice is one of those warning signs
Definitely, skin yellow is generally a solid warning sign.0 -

Sorry people are pming you. That's not right. Thanks for posting--you don't know how many "lurkers" are out there. They follow the forums, but don't post and you will have saved someone else from buying the stuff.0 -

Also do you have a hard time doing activities you could do easily before? Like do you get winded going up stairs and stuff when you didn't before? Friend of mine had kidney failure, he thought he was just getting sick or something. Go see a doctor if you haven't had a checkup in a while. For reals. Get some basic bloodwork done. You wanna be there for your family even if you have an 'aversion' to doctors.0 -

Yep, see a doctor. Do you drink alcohol or take a lot of medication? Are your eyes discolored too? My skin has a yellowish appearance, but that's only because I'm around the UV lights of my bearded dragon tanks.
It may be the vegetables...an ungodly amount of them.0
