...periods of time increase? your chances of getting them sooner...faster...more severe? any sugestions on how to fix them or hide them? does exercising help or make it worse? my veins aren't puffy, they are just purple and spidery, starting at the backs of my knees. my jobs are standing or running around all day long with little or no breaks. People sometimes talk about some special socks to wear ... for circulation... could you pelase provide some brand names or palces to buy? i know this is a lot of detail.THANKS SO MUCH!!
