Worried!! Lots of leg veins showing up, phen related?

[Patsy]

I have been on phen since Sept. 2000, I have noticed alot of veins in my legs, esp around the ankle,arch and even on my feet. Has anyone had this? Is there a circulation side effect with phen?? Appreciate advise.

Thanks, Patsy

Hi Patsy,
Its me again
You sound like you may be Low in Vitamin E. Do you take a vitamin supplement? Vitamin E promotes cirulation in the lower extremities. Take it with Vitamin C. A dose of 400-IU should help.
Have a good one!!

I noticed the same thing last night on my legs. Really freaked me out. I wouldn't have thought it was Phen realted until I saw this post. I take a multi-vitamin daily. I would think that was plenty of E and C. I also drink a slim-fast daily and that is fortified.
I'm wondering if its due to the exercise - I'm walking/jogging/running a lot since I started phen (3 months ago).
I'm going to really massage those areas after a jog and see if that helps. Boy, its not pretty!

Heather,

Thanks for the info, I will be taking more vitamin e and c. I slacked off the vitamins and my exercise program for awhile now and I better get my butt in gear and DO something. Those veins are sooo ugly... You would think we have enough to deal with already without all this extra stuff. Hope your doing good with your program. Thanks, Patsy

Hi Danelady,

I am going to start the vitamins today, I am usually good at taking them and exercising but I got off track for awhile and now I need to really get it together. thanks for the response. Hope your day is great! Patsy
