> E.D., does blondegirl47's experience seem at all similar to yours?
Hi DSCH & all~ sorry, haven't been on PB for a few days...
My experience with lower circulation and spiderveins hasn't been like blondgirl's, sorry to say- or if it has, i attributed it differently.
I would be hard pressed to associate my past spidervein appearances with poor circulation or Adderall only, because of a hereditary factor in my case, but the remedies that i would recommend might still apply.I'd asssumed that my circulation might've been lowered because my activity had changed. The Adderall afforded me an ablility to sit still for longer periods of time, or being able to organize movement effectiveness into less energy expenditures. Without my usual vulnerability to distractions, my physical activity is definately changed to a less active state for longer periods of time. Poor circulation remedy for me, is remembering to engage in activity or stretches while in an Adderall-prone state.
Spider Veins is a hereditary factor on the maternal side of my family, making their first appearances near age 30. No one in my family (myself included) have ever had them facially - only around ankles or thighs. HOWEVER, when i noticed my first ones (ankles) i did address them successfully with Pycnogenol. I also take a Vit.E suppliment and Omega 3,6,9 oil, that is said to prevent further appearances. Am in the habit of using GrapeSeed Oil alternately with FlaxSeed Oil (cold processed, etc.) whenever i use oil (unheated)for salads, pasta, etc. The only thing that i can vouch for 'disappearing' the little squiggles is the Pycnogenol.
Oh yes- don't forget about regularly taking niacine (or niacinamide) for capillaries/circulation health... also check that you are not constipated or dried out from the Adderall. These are also possible causes of spiderveins.
Hope any of this is helpful,
Escher
