My face has become really large - help me?

For some reason my face has become very very large. My fingers are swollen. Feet and ankles are swollen too.

I am not taking any medication. My thyroid test was normal- while my dad and sister have hypothyroidism. I remain tired. I have muscle pain, hairloss, lot of abdominal fat. I exercise 3 times a week - 200 calories. I drink a lot of water. I eat lots of fruits. What should I do?? I am about 30 pounds over weight.
Your suggestions are welcome.

Answer:
You need to find a really good Internal Medicine Dr. who will run every test necessary until he/she finds out what is wrong with you. Don't give up, get on line and research it yourself and tell your Dr. what you think it might be. You have to be aggressive in your own health care, you know your body better than any one else does!! Good luck, I hope you find out quickly. It could be something like Lupus or even a tumor on your pituitary gland so seek help soon!
go to the doctor thats what i would do.
They really need to check your thyroid again. Get a second opinion.

What you are discribing sounds a lot like my friend. He has Cushings Disease. I am not a medical expert but a lot of people that have this have a hard time diagnosing it. If any of this sounds like you go to your doctor and discuss the possibility with him/her. Get all the tests done needed to diagnose it.

Whatever you do, make sure you go to your doctor full of information and knowledge. If they refuse to help you find a doctor that will listen and help you figure it out.
