Hi, I'm new to this site and wondering if anyone out there knows what this is. When I stand up my legs turn purple and red with every vein showing beneath my skin. But here's the catch, when I lay down all the blood drains out of my legs and the color goes back to normal. I have been to every doctor possible for this my blood is fine, my circulation is fine, calf pump working fine. No one has a clue. This is cosmetic there is no pain, but horribly embarrasing.I have no courage to put shorts on this summer and I live in Louisiana, the summer hits 100 degree heat. Can someone please tell me if you know anything about this and what helps.Thanks in advance

HELLO! FINALLY! someone who has legs like me. Mine are veiny too but only when i am standing up.....they become worse at night too. I have heard that taking garlic tablets and eating white fish 3 to 4 times a week helps. i have just been trying the garlic tablets for 4 days now....no results yet
