I don't know what to say but one thing, with that many meds over long periods of time buildup in your body.The reaction is slow because it isa unknown reaction that can only be identified by long time user reaction. I'm not saying that is what it is but a definite possibility.Way too many different chemicals. hope you find the source.Good Luck and Good Health.  |

Thanks Bruiex. I wonder if it's affecting my liver, taking that many medications. I know the antiretrovirals do affect the liver over time, but I really have no other alternative if I want to live. It just worries me with so many people noticing my skin getting darker.  |

Hello Firekit it could be a side effect of a combination of medications. The doctor should have been trying to figure it out.  |

That sounds plausible about the liver because discolorization of the skin has always been linked to that. |

I would just call your doctor again and express your concern.  |

could be hormones. could be the liver. some of the cholesterol meds have to be followed with blood work for iver enzymes... look up the cholesterol med and see what the side effects are and if u should have blood work... if still concerned I would ask the doc to look into it with u.  |

That's sad that your doctor just shrugged you off the way he did. Anyways, I think the others are right about the combination of medications and chemicals may have effect. However, I'm no doctor I'd call your doctor and express your concern to him and let him know that this is freaking you out and you want to know WHAT is going on. Good luck, keep us posted.  |

I would just visit the doctor again. It could very well be a side effect of all the meds in your liver. Good luck  |

I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow to run blood work on me to find out what's going on. So hopefully I will have some answers tomorrow. Thanks everyone /hugs |

I think the skin turns YELLOW if your liver is shutting down, so it's probably not that... I would get it checked out asap though.  |
