Jaundice

[b-ditty]

I have been taking milk thistle for the last 3 months, at 800 mgs. a day. I just finished a cycle and now I see a little yellow in the corners of my eyes. I don't know if this is normal or just me being paranoid. I don't have any pain in my lower abdominal area, but still I am slightly worried. I did go out and drink once a week but not that much. What should I do?
thanks

First,what did your cycle consist of?If there were orals in it and you were drinking once a week,then that's the problem.You should NEVER be drinking when on a 17aa drug,as your liver is already working overtime 24/7 to break down a substance that is quite hepatoxic to it.Adding alcohol to the mix is like dumping gasoline on top of a kindling bunch of sparks that were alredy burning at your liver.Suffice it to say,the milk thistle was more than likely being overpowered by the amount of hepatoxic substances invading your liver...I would go have some blood work ran ASAP,and lay off the booze and any oral steroids for a while...It will also help to start running some glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid into your daily regimen,as both are more potent at liver cell regeneration than milk thistle extract...
