Question once again.

[morrison]

Does anyone have the problem of very large veins in lower arms and especially in hands. I sa

[SheffieldJane]

I think it’s an age thing. Have you seen Madonna’s?

Symptom free, just bigger?

[morrison in reply to SheffieldJane]

Not nice though when you'e onot a date and they bring it up. Forget the B...h.

[SheffieldJane in reply to morrison]

Well at least you are getting asked on dates. He’s not the “ one” clearly.

[Sandy1947 in reply to morrison]

Yes, I have that too. I think it’s from Pred. I want to write a manual to give each date before we meet. That would save time, energy and patience! I find I only have strength for breakfast and lunch dates. I eat an early dinner, pj’s and bed. It takes such effort to be “on”! Rather pet my dog!

One of the first things I noticed once I was nicely established on pred was the alarming veins in my arms. I don't think they signify anything, but I've wondered why this happened. Looking at my hands they have large veins too, larger than they used to be, I guess.

[PMRpro Ambassador]

It must be a personal thing - the veins on the back of my hands are a bit more prominent but no more than I would expect with aging and the arm ones are absolutely no different.

Unless your date was a vampire I think I would agree with SJ. Manners!!!!!!!

[Kath567]

Yes, I developed prominent veins along my left arm, they do seem bigger now in both hands too. Prednisone causing thin skin so they look more obvious?

[Hollyseden]

Haven't noticed any difference in my arms but my hands look as if I'm wearing skin tone gloves that are about 3 sizes too big 😐 Ah well something else to blame on pred.

I have OA in my hands and if I get pain and swelling my veins pop up also. Looks horrible, it does go down though 😀
