I believe the crazy veins and reason for aggravated sympotoms during crazy vein time is a result of blood pooling. Do you wear constriction stockings? They are made for feet, legs, abdomen and even arms.

I have nails like yours. They have the red stripes as well as I have ridges down the length of my nails. I have never known why.

Hi Abbilou. Thanks for your input. I’m glad to hear someone else with EDS has the red stripes. It must mean something. The pic isn’t very clear, but I have red stripes all over my thumb nails – that one in particular stands right out though. And yes, my heart has to work so hard with all that blood pooled in my limbs.
