Anyone experience changes in skin color since before becoming infected?
I had been quite pale before, but now my skin has a grayish cast.
Several years ago I went through a period of yellow skin, particularly on my palms. That's typically a sign of being hypothyroid, but blood tests showed my hormone levels quite normal. After having my thyroid removed (cancer) and going on thyroid hormone replacement, the yellow quickly disappeared.

You arent taking colloidal silver are you? That can make people gray because of silver accumulation.

I don't know what the grey is all about, but the yellow would indicate liver troubles. I had unusual yellowing and browning of areas of my skin, especially on my face - over my nose, cheeks, and around my mouth, and my liver enzymes shot up one week after starting IV Rocephin.
I also just got an 'equivocal' malaria result - malaria reproduces in the liver - so does babesia - and I've never been outside the US.
Do you have shaking chills and drenching sweats? Problems tolerating high iron foods?
Those are two of my biggies.
I would do one of Hulda Clark's Gallbladder Liver Cleanse Recipes. Also, after this, I would PUSH to have your blood tested for malaria like I did - because malaria has hit the US.

If yellowing is liver related, it usually also shows in the whites of the eyes. Mine was just skin. Low thyroid hormone changes how the body handles vitamin A, resulting in high levels of yellow-orange color beta-carotene being stored in the skin,

I have also experienced the yellow/ orange color to my skin at different points in time. I had it quite prominantly for a few months back in the winter. All labwork, etc appeared normal at that time. Gradually it sort of went away on its own...and now the past few weeks I've had a few people mention it again.
I'd never heard that about the thyroid before. Interesting, as I am hypothyroid. Perhaps that's the explanation then...

bftmt22 - same thing here, my skin was yellowed but thyroid hormone blood lab results were middle of normal range. Oddly enough, it was something else that caused me to have a scan that ended up showing thyroid cancer.
I don't think the cancer was the cause of the yellow skin, but rather the lyme somehow mucking up my body's normal use of the hormone.
