Girl I have two swollen feet that I CAN NOT EVEN WEAR THE CUTEST SANDALS OUT THERE. My veins do not circulate properly and I am stuck with that forever til I die. I don't have valves in my veins where the blood flow can flow evenly..Right now as I am typing to you my feet are utterly swollen.
I was losing my hair and had bald patches on my head. I couldn't even pull back my hair into a pony tail. I would sit and cry drastically and look in the mirror at these bald patches. I was trying every hair remedy that was out there..I would just add wave cream and a wave cap and kept going.
Well one day I finally snapped out of it and realized you know what HOW MANY DYING ,LIFE THREATENING DISEASED PEOPLE OUT THERE WOULD LOVE TO TRADE PLACES WITH ME RIGHT NOW Over some bald patches..they would give anything..I am healthy, alive and losing my hair was at the bottom of the list..So here I am telling you don't worry about your arms..Think of some poor little child/person who would love to live a healthy life. They would trade places with you in a heartbeat just not to have to live with what they r going thru.
So please I know how you feel. But put yourself in their shoes. Dying of an ill disease or living healthy with marked up arms that can be covered up..

Well, I understand your point. But for me, this condition makes me so depressed, I can't even live my life to the fullest. I hold back from certain things so I can hide it. I never let anyone look at my legs because they are covered with the little bumps. I am a teenager too, so I feel like everyone is starting at me and judging me. I feel like I can never be good enough. I have so many other problems in my life like my father (who I can't see because he's violent) and a diabetic younger brother. This condition is just icing on the cake isn't it?
I don't think anyone would want to trade places with me if they knew all that I go through, and then to have this on my mind all the time?
