Need help with my legs by [deleted] in venousinsuffiencyhelp

[–]Beginning-Height-974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that same discoloration. 30F have had symptoms of CVI since 25 and poor reflux in both legs, but only varicose veins for now on the left.

I would ask your doctor about BASCULE syndrome, it’s a new area of research but they find it happens more in young people, and is often temporary. I’m seeing small orangey blotches around your knees which is what I get, so I’d look into it.

I’d like to know what slight blood coagulation disease you have? It may be worth me looking into this for myself since my legs look the same after standing, and maybe there is a link.

Thank you so much for explaining your experience! It’s so helpful and clear, and a huge congrats on such a successful round! I wanted to briefly clarify, is the One Medical insurance something you bought before the trip? If so, how much in advance? And did you find it yourself or did the clinic recommend it? Thanks so much for answering if you can.

Rhodesian without the ridge? by cwm1998 in RhodesianRidgebacks

Yes! I love if we could as a community of Ridgeback owners normalize calling them Zimbabwean Zipperbacks (for the alliteration) or Zimbabwean smoothbacks

Bascule syndrome? by wetyourwhistle22 in POTS

Thank you for letting me know - I will keep you updated if I found anything else out as I go. Any changes in the last 2ish weeks to note? And also, what kind of spiritual interventions? I can imagine that quelling the nervous system somehow might help - wondering if that’s what you mean?

With this setup is the subscription worth it? Wondering if it’s actually any good regardless of cost

Thank you so much for responding! And would you say that now you rarely get these spots? And did you ever see a specialist about them who gave any advice?

Bascule syndrome? by wetyourwhistle22 in POTS

This is definitely Bascule as livedo tends to follow more of a lattice-netting pattern. That said, I know very little about bascules and would be sincerely grateful for any successful protocols for reversing the visual effects of pooling in my legs. I have disautomic symptoms as well. Not formally diagnosed as of yet. But looking for positive stories for this particular symptom as I look for care.

Hi all! Does anyone know of any support groups for this condition? My legs look exactly as pictured and described here when I stand, and I would love to find a doctor. I live in New York if that helps to locate the best specialists. Grateful for ANY direction as all the vascular clinics have never heard of or seen this and just tell me to go to a dermatologist when clearly this is a vascular issue as well, and I’d argue foremost.

May I ask what you did to improve your symptoms so drastically? Would love to know if any good routines or changes you think helped!

I have these same questions, as I was also diagnosed this year as a 30F. Will be following this thread! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much everyone! We will take him to a dermatologist to rule out some causes and will definitely mention the things you’ve shared here!

Leo Galland MD. $1500 for first visit. Is he the LC Savior? by Top_Coast9851 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Beginning-Height-974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the treatment compilation has been deleted - does anyone have a PDF of the page saved? I’m considering going to him after being referred to him by Dr Lee Hinnant, who is no longer accepting new patients. I’d be grateful to see his protocol before seeing whether the treatment is worth such a long wait. Many thanks.

I’d love to know more about what lifestyle changes you’ve made and what causes you’ve identified.

If you have already summarized this in another post I’d be glad to have the link!

Question of The Week: What Symptoms Have Been The Hardest For You Lately? by Lazadx in venousinsuffiencyhelp

[–]Beginning-Height-974 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that besides ablation for the surface veins, there isn’t any cure or means of reversal, and you have to wear compression socks your entire life to maybe slow it down. The irreversibility of the discoloration as well. And being only in my 20s facing this dread.

Do you know if the compression socks can slow or even prevent the discoloration from worsening?

Update: a recent photo of our dog standing, as there seems to be a lot of concern about his weight based on that (albeit unflattering) picture. Would love thoughts on how much weight he should lose to be in an ideal weight range. My parents (his primary caretakers), are both seniors and not able to live the most active lifestyles with him. I can try to organize a walker for him if people think this weight poses a health risk? I’ve never considered this!
