Thread veins

I was glad to read remarks about thread veins and whafrin meds as i had not long been looking at my own and thinking, "this is it, one walking, talking thread vein" as they just keep multiplying so i have decided not to look at myself anymore from the waist down. I find myself looking at someone that i don't really recognise anymore since my heart problems as my hair has thined, especially at the front and the left side of my face does seem more droopy than the right. Well that may be so but to get back to my being "restricted glitch" I was hours trying to find a way to connect admin as technicall I am not. I even rang the main contact number to BHF thinking, Yer, thats admin. The person that i spoke to sounded like a young man who I proceeded to baffle explaining why I was calling and wondered why he didn't know about Heartunlocked or even later in the conversation Heart's unblocked! I burst out laughing when a light bulb came on and apologised for ringing the wrong number. I must have sounded batty as my anxiety had kicked in, I was not even making sense listening to myself. After searching here and there I sent off an email or maybe 2 or 3, who knows by that point thinking something might find it's way to admin through the ether and one did. So once again thank you to Qualipop and everyone else who passed on suggestions about my short lived, " state of restriction"

Dear dogsbodydogsbod

Glad your back with us and that it is all sorted out,

I have noticed tread veins on my legs as well and the nurse said that it could be from the blood thinners that I’m on.

Sorry about your hair thinning and other things that you have noticed, maybe a call to the Dr/Heart nurse may help? Any change to the symmetry of your face should be checked.

Take care and well done with your fight on the technology battlefield!

Not what you're looking for?
