Was checking out tattoo artist portfolios on facebook and stumbled upon this and many lols were had

(all of his work is pretty terrible, and it's a good lesson to choose carefully)

An oil massage (abhayanga) with goth kola infused sesame oil is supposed to help heal them.

If I ever get a tattoo I am going to find the worst artist possible because that is punk rock.  If I'm going to mark up my temple, I want to really defile it. 

You can't "pop" a vein like a pimple, it takes a heavy IV user a long time to collapse a vein and even then it will likely be visible in an even worse way.  Also the risk of infection, rogue clots, and other health issues is considerable.

At some point you've got to just stop caring.  Sure there are people out there that will judge you by the way you look, but if you love yourself it truly doesn't matter and you will be that much more appealing to someone who will see you for what you are.

Well I didn't literally mean like a pimple. But it is duly noted. I honestly don't think it would have bothered me if it weren't one of those things that fell on top of a long list of things. My body is pretty well wrecked. :ohwell:

Small update I guess.

I've noticed they're starting to appear all up and down my left leg. I get alot of cramps in that leg too, especially at the calf where new spider veins are forming. Are they indeed related to bad circulation? should I go to a doctor to have them check for blood clots and check for more serious damage?

Is there anything I can do at home to improve my circulation? Don't say exercise unless you have very specific ideas of what kinds of exercise. I can only do very limited exercises, including cardio.


Also, I know I have high blood pressure and I've been thinking for a while that it might be related.

What do you guys think?

Well yeah excercise. What response did you expect? Your cardio will open the veins and allow oxygen to come in, and helping your circulatory system get rid of unwanted compounds as well, not to mention your over all heart rate will improve. You need to extend your cardio for longer amounts of time. High blood pressure is usually caused by constricted blood veins, which not only allows less blood to the areas of your body but makes your heart work harder to get that blood there, causing high blood pressure and spider veins etc.

Sorry if "excercise more" is not the answer you want to hear. They have skin creams as well, but that's only going to treat symptoms and not actually improve the root of issue. The root of the issue is your body is malfunctioning, even if only in a small way. You've got to improve your blood flow. Is there some reason you are against uping your cardio?

Meditation also helps lower your blood pressure. Some disagree and say they feel just as much anxiety after sitting for a period of time as they did before the sitting. Regardless it is an activity that seems to lower your heart rate and improve your blood pressure, I've measured my blood pressure before and after and if you do it for two hours you'll see a serious decrease in high blood pressure.

Smoking too raises your blood pressure. You smoke cigarettes?

Well I know there are massages and herbs that improve circulation so that's kinda what I was hoping for.

I cannot up my exercise regiment because of other physical problems. Think of something along the lines of CFS, lupus, fibro. Yes exercise helps with the pain but going over, just a tiny hair over, or doing as much on a decent day as I would a good day, fucks me up. My legs and hips tend to take it the worst. I can't run anymore, at all, not 20 feet on the road, without splinting my shins. Hiking is about the best I can do, and I can't get a good hike every day. I can barely walk from the car to the grocery store and back some days.


It's not just I don't want to hear it because I "don't have time" or some other frivolous excuse. It hurts to hear it. I used to be an athlete and a body builder. I went through a very serious depression in my early 20s trying to face the fact that all my muscles were wearing away and trying to bring them back only tortured me and made it impossible to do as much as to fucking take care of myself. I tried for a very long time to push it only half as hard as I would as an athlete but I eventually had to face the music. I deal with it but I still don't like admitting it or I would have sooner in the thread.

I've been building up the muscles back in my legs, very slowly, and it's helped take alot of the pressure off of my knees and hips. The cramps I've been getting haven't been as bad either. I think stress is the biggest thing I've been fighting the last year or so. My anxiety, tension, and blood pressure have been stupid bad the last few weeks so maybe that's why I had new spider veins form. Not sure if they have formed in the last few weeks, generally don't spend much time staring at my legs.


As for smoking... Yes I have a plan for quitting. Already cutting myself down to a limit of 4 a day. Will bring it down to 3 in a few weeks. Then 2. Then 1. And hopefully by then have the trailer set up at my new home so I can get out of my parents house and get rid of the primary source of anxiety in my life. And then I start a new life. Without cigarettes.
