To be really upset to realise that I have varicose veins?!

Looked at my legs tonight and realised that somehow I have developed varicose veins.

I'm genuinely gutted.

I do work long shifts where I am on my feet the whole time, but still it has shocked me.

I can cope with all my other defects (and they are legion)), but this?

No more skirts?!

Sad

YANBU - They are ugly and can be quite uncomfortable. They are also genetic, so hard to avoid if they run in your family. Fortunately they can be treated / removed. I just had a large one removed via surgery from a leg. Not very painful and heals up quickly!
