Hello I am writing from Las Vegas and 1 of the 40000 Endoscopic Center of Southern Nevada (and more now as soon as they release the number of Desert Shadow Endoscopic patients) that were exposed to HEP ABC&D and HIV.  I am told it may take more than a week to get the results and I obviously am a little anxious about this whole mess.  I have been sickffor about 18 months since about 5 or 6 weeks after a colonoscopy with the following symptoms and was hoping you could tell me whether they are all symptoms of HEP C or one of the others nd if you think maybe also symptoms of something else as well.  

yellow skin a lot more yellow after being in the sun, sunburns very easily now, eyes dry and bloodshot, chronic kidney/bladder infections, also sometimes ear  infections and once pnemonia, abdominal pain.  I also had renal, liver, etc. radiological exams last year showing a slightly enlarged liver, with a small scarring or scerosis  of the liver and I am not a drinker (except when I was on vacation in the Phillipines and I get the runs and not sure it is the water I drank bottled beer a few times a day for a week - LOL).  Another symptom is white spotting on the skin and swelling of the skin - water retention maybe which could be associated with the kidney infections, but today I have an infection and no swelling,  Also my ankles swell up after being in the sun for a short time and are extremely yellow looking.  I suffer all of these but the worst symptom I am having is night sweats with palpatations that are so bad when I lay down I have to force myself to get up and go get a drink... just about every single time I lay down.  After the worst of that my heart just palpatates so hard I feel like I am bouncing.

thanks for any commment.
