I'd call your nurse and doc. I would worry about Jaundice. It could very well not be, but I would get checked out the same.

whats jaundice? Rory (fiance) said it might be something with my liver..it turns ya yellow but mostly starts with your eyes. my eyesite keeps getting really really bluring whenever im doing something. could that be part of it?

 

[thelizardqueen]

Jaundice is yellow eyes and/or skin. Its usually caused by too many red blood cells retiring, by the liver being overloaded or damaged, or by the inability to move processed bilirubin from the liver through the biliary tract to the gut. It arises for many reasons, including blood incompatibilities, blood diseases, genetic syndromes, hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile duct blockage, other liver diseases, infections, or medications. The term also applies to physiologic jaundice exaggerated by dehydration.

Edited to add: you should make an appointment with your doctor to get this checked out.

Go to the dr. My freind Dana had that befor her liver failed her. It could be your liver or gallbladder. As a medical care provider I can tell you that is something not to take lightlly. Please go tot he dr. And let us know how it goes.

Sounds like liver something or other to me too. I hope not, though

 

[JennifersHope]

Gallstones can cause you to be jaundice as well. You can get the bile ducts clogged up which can give you jaundice as well.

You should for sure get it checked out.

99% sure it sounds like something to do with the liver. Liz's theory sounds like the best. I would deffinatley get it checked out.

I agree Jaundice, gallstones or possibly (but the other two are most likely in your situation) hepatitis.

 

[thelizardqueen]

Jaundice is a symptom of gallstones, hepatitis or liver problems. You wouldn't just have yellow skin and/or eyes without any other underlaying problem.

I havnt found a ride yet and my eyes are still affecting me i still go crossed when i do something and i havnt got ride of those headaches what should i do use a ambulance or something

 

[thelizardqueen]

If I were you, and your vision is starting to be affected, if you can't get a ride or call a cab, I would call an ambulance. Its one thing to have the yellow eyes, and headaches, but if you can't even see clearly, I would go to your local emerg.
