PROUDLY OVERCOMING LIFE'S MANY OBSTACLES. Gilbert's syndrome is a common disorder that affects bilirubin processing by the liver, leading to jaundice. This “benign” condition can present itself as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, sugar/ chocolate craving, gynecomastia, and weakness after suffering an infection. Although some may claim that sufferers of Gilbert’s syndrome can lead a “normal” life, we wish to bring to light the psychological distress experienced by GS individuals.

I don't have GS, but I once dreamt that I did--what a truly terrifying nightmare! When I woke up, I too was flooded with understanding..I knew where those moobs came from & why my hair won't stop growing. Then I realized it was all just a dream.. Still searching..
Although long term sufferers of GS, Fred and Joe were diagnosed with this scourge in 2003. They present the perspectives of German and English majors turned med students turned MDs in the somatic-psycho-social aspects of Gilbert's Syndrome.
