My concern Is how can I fix this and be able to live past 65! Btw my family is sick! Mostly from father side males don't make it past 35 happy. Heart deisise,attack,severe daibities, rough skin. I also have anthiclriosis. Body glAnds are dark........ And all this be caused by throyoid? I'm concerened with my testosterone/estrogen? Also my hair started thinning rapidly when I was 19,20. . Please help how can I get this fixed ? Eat right loose weight? Steroids thyroid medicine?

The doctor you should see is an endocrinologist. that is a thyroid doctor. depending on your insurance co. you may need a referral from your primary care doctor.

Hi, you need to find a good local doctor first. He or she should start with some blood tests including testing your thyroid function.hormones etc. Hopefully you can get appointment with a specialist soon.
