should weigh you down;
Gilbert's Syndrome
Gilbert's syndrome is a common inherited disorder that affects the processing by the liver of the pigments in the bile called bilirubin. This results in an increase in the level of bilirubin levels in the bloodstream and can lead to a yellowing of the skin and the eyes, that is jaundice. The liver itself is otherwise normal and people with Gilbert's syndrome have a normal life expectancy. It is common and not a dangerous condition in any way.
Once the diagnosis is established, the most important aspect of management is to reassure the patient with regard to the benign and inconsequential nature of the disorder and the excellent prognosis and to prevent further unnecessary investigations.
BTW, how are you other than tired--any follow up on Philadelphia
