Anyone else see this before? The soles of my feet are very yellow. I'm doing a foot soak right now, but was wondering if it could a sign of something?

Could be liver enzyme issue. Are your doctors monitoring this? Typically if it is jaundice you will also see yellow on hands and in eye whites. My eye whites always have a little yellow, many people do - so don't freak out if yours are! I would just mention it to your dr.

How are you feeling?

Yes, I get blood drawn every week. The doc is closely monitoring me because of the PICC line.

I also have a tremendous amount of bone pain today. worse than usual. maybe its a herx?

I would say that the bone pain is a herx, but the yellow feet have me concerned as well. I've not heard of that before. Since you are being monitored so closely, I'm sure your doc would be aware of any issues, but I'd call them just to be sure.

After a quick search, the big thing is how much beta carotene are you getting in your diet? Yellow and orange foods contain the most and if you are eating a lot of them, it can turn the skin yellow. Just thought I'd mention this.

Thanks traveler! I am going to call the doctors office and see what the blood results say for this week, my blood was draw last night by the home health nurse.

I ate carrots yesterday and the day before, but I don't think I ate enough to give me an overload of beta carotene.
