I Have Hemmocromtosis Which Went Undiagnosed For 9 Years, Even

i have hemmocromtosis which went undiagnosed for 9 years, even thou I complained to 7 different Doctors they said it was in my mind. So when my sister found out she had it we all do my iron number was 1900 I went every week for blood drawls i was told that everything would reverse itself my concern was sexualk function. after a few months i asked a nurse and she told me that over the years and without treatment the damage was done. I found out that i have cirrosis of the liver along with type 2 sugar, underactive thyroid. since finding out about my liver issue im always tired, sleep way to much, and have had issues with my legs swelling I have neuropathy in me feet and sometimes can just about walk. my regular doc did labs and my testosterone level was high (in the past 5/6 years it was that of a 95 yo) as well as my testosterone level being hi my estrogen level was high as well. The estogen was being checked because i found a lump on my left breast which grew into a womans breast. my doctor spoke with my liver specialist and he said the levels are high because of my liver and im getting older 54. he said I could go on androgel (My free testosterone is low) im not sure what to do or who to believe 8 years of complaining about skin, hair,loss of sexual function and being told by medical professional its all in my mind has left me to deal with HUGE issues
