Hello
Am currently waiting for results from blood tests because a few days after taking a PPI drug I developed:

Itching
Dark urine
Jaundice (only on face and whites of eyes)
Nausea
Didnt want to eat
fatigue
flu like symptoms
joint inflammation

My appetite is coming back and so is my energy but I am having good days and bad days. Its 11 days since the jaundice appeared. Am I getting better? How long for recovery? Its 15 days since I stopped the medication..

Thanks for any help

Hello and welcome to e health forum.

From the history given it does seem that you are recovering from the hepatitis.

For complete recovery and return to the normal status, it might take about 1-2 weeks more.

For proper assessment and help, you might consult a doctor, who can do some liver function tests and tell you the exact status of your condition.
