> Squiggles have you had a complete physical with all labs? What are your liver enzymes?
Not complete to my knowledge (actually this is
a question for a friend);AS this is an indication of anything in the liver or gall bladder. Jaundice is usally yellowing of the eyes first, then skin.
Yep. I know, but this was a transient gray slate shade - may have been a drug reaction;
It does sound like Renauds with the finger thing.
Hmm... not sure -- could be necrosis from liver malfunction?
Which means you have autoimmune diseases going on. There are many. Even chronic fatigue could cause the hypersomnia.
Yep -- just saw a fascinating article on BMJ on the history of encephalitis lethargica;
How many hours of sleep is hypersomnia to you?
Not many -- 3-5; but they have been increasing if the opportunity is there -- could be the Rivotril is too high;
And google autoimmune diseases and see if one fits your profile. I have them too. Hashimotos thyroiditis, there is also one that affects the liver I was checked for that too. And are you perimenopausal or before that or after.
Not applicable in this case; i am fine; fortunately, my friend is getting a test - just
worried about the brain you know;thank yoiu.
You need an MD.
Got one :-)
