Yellowing of the body/eyes can mean Hepatitis...which can lead to, or be a part of, Cirrhosis of the Liver.
However, if you're feeling no pain, it could be dehydration, which some Pedialite should fix up. I hope that your doctor gave you all necessary tests--to be certain.
Even Mononucleosis (Mono, aka The Kissing Disease) is connected to the liver. One feels extremely tired, may have fever and other flu-like symptoms. There are mild cases, and very severe ones. One must stay home and rest--and eat a very bland diet.

It does sound like you have jaundice. I would get a second opinion.In the mean time if you are jaundiced, which it sounds like you are try to spend as much time as possible in direct sunlight. the vitamin D which comes from the uv rays is known to cure jaundice,so if the yellow clears up you will know that you had jaundice all along .I hope you get better. Good Luck!!
