Am i hurting my liver with MDMA?

[My pupils are big]

Hi guys, i did not want to post a thread about this at all but it seems like i can't find the information I'm looking for anywhere. Okay so i have been taking MDMA and other rolls for about a year now. I've taken a total count of 24 pills, which is not really a lot compared to my friends. About two months ago, rolled one night and my eyes were very yellow. I waited weeks to see if it would go away but nothing. Till this day my eyes are still very yellow. Every time i roll now i have pains in what seems to be my liver. My eyes also get extremely yellow, and when i mean extremely i'm talking about something that looks pretty scary and everyone points it out. I went to the doctor ( did not tell him about my MDMA use ) but he told me i seem to have something called "Gilbert's disease or syndrome". He said i got it from my dad because he also has it. I even had and ultrasound done on my liver and everything seemed fine but they said that's not 100% accurate. I am very scared that i am doing damage to my liver. I do not want to find out when it is too late and if not rolling is what it takes then I am up for it all the way. My liver only hurts for a couple days after rolling but my eyes just stay yellow. Can anyone help me please? I really don't know what to do. Thanks.

Your increased body temperature is what's damaging your liver. Which, as you know, is one of the effects of MDMA. You just have to cool down!

Do you consume alcohol regularly?

Staying hydrated might help, though don't over hydrate. During my first candyflip (I was experienced with both drugs btw), I had never consumed "too much" water before but I puked twice because I was worried about staying hydrated whereas before I had a consumed a normal amount. I've noticed that I feel a lot better physically the next day if I've had enough water.

Like ^ said, have cool off periods. If I'm rolling really hard and I'm at a rave, I can get a little dizzy if I dance for too long. At this point, I'll usually get a water and have a couple cigarettes outside with friends and just maybe sit down, relax, stuff like that. Dancing is fun but it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't take breaks, IME.

I personally love raves in the winter for this reason. its always like an explosion of refreshment when I go outside cause the cool winter air rejuvenates me if I'm feeling too gone. Where I live, it never gets too far below freezing so its not too bad. Its nice to get a cigarette with fresh air and a water with space to sit down when you've been cramped with hot, sweaty, sometimes stinky people XD

I've had it a couple of times (out of having probably taken over 1000 pills) and could not ever work out exactly why it happened. Never lasted long and i've had my liver function test done and its okay. Number Love had a good point - if you are drinking while rolling that could make it worse. This may sound crazy but i go to a spritual healer who more or less does Reiki, and she often works on my liver area - not for everyone but it seems to help me. You may want to be tested for Hepatitis too?? That causes yellowing of the eyes and skin?

I haven't heard of cases where MDMA in itself causes liver damage and makes people's eyes stay yellow for several days. I am not a doctor, but my gut instinct tells me that these side effects are not related to MDMA use directly. I especially find it strange that MDMA makes your go yellow - this is not common. MDMA is a pretty old substance (at least as far designer drugs go) and this would be well known among the E using community.

It would also be interesting to hear how much alc you consume and if you (ab)use any other drugs.

Yeah Levictus has a point - i've never heard of it being that bad in 12+ years of use - i'd stop MDMA now until you figure out what it is. MDMA is fun but not worth dying for!!!

I have heard of it...

Here's a little something from wikipedia.
"Liver damage, which may have an immunological cause, has been seen in a small number of users.[36] It is not clear to what extent liver toxicity is caused by MDMA or other compounds found in ecstasy tablets. Animal studies suggest MDMA can cause liver damage and that the risk and extent of liver damage is increased by high body temperature.[37]"
