Barbra

I read the message below which referred to your circulation problems.

Most days I get bad circulation in my legs, and at night time they become blottchy and hot and my skin changes colour just as you described below.

I was intereted in the article that you said Reena had written but am unable to find it, and wondered if you can pass this to me or offer me some advise.

I have been to my local doctor who has performed tests to check the thickness of my blood, but that came back as OK, and he didnt seem to keen to help me after that. I often take asprin to releve the pressure as this is meant to thin the blood, but do worry that because my circulation is so bad at 25 will my legs go veiny and ultimatly cause severe damage to my health.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Yours Faithfully
