I have seen that people say they have been successful in treating varicose veins and spider veins with Progest-E. I would like to know a bit more about the experiences - how much and for how long to get results?
Background: I had varicose veins on my right leg from my teens. It got gradually worse, and at age 34 I had hip to heel strip surgery. My mother has had no less than four varicose vein surgeries. Her sister has had two surgeries. I do not doubt that it is related to estrogen. Before my surgery I got off the birth control pill (after almost 16 years), and I did not go back on. The varicose veins have not come back on my right leg, but I get one or two veins standing out on my left leg from time to time. I also get spider veins on my legs easily.
I have applied some Progest-E over olive oil on my spider veins from time to time, but I have not noticed any difference. Yesterday, while listening to the Peat March interview with the Herb Doctors where it was mentioned that a generous dose was used to bring standing veins down on an older lady, I decided to apply a bit more generously. I do not know how much I took, but it was several drops (over virgin olive oil). This was around 20:30. By 21:00 I was dead tired, and went to bed. I tried to read, but I just could not keep my eyes open for long. My body felt very heavy, but my muscles felt very relaxed. I think I was asleep by 21:40, woke up once at 3:25, fell back to sleep quickly and woke up rested at 05:25. My morning temp was higher than usual. There were no changes to the spider veins, but I noticed that my face looked better than usual. While I do not normally have very dark circles under my eyes, I usually have a slight blue/greyish colour. I noticed that this morning the skin under my eyes were the same colour as the rest of my face - hard to detect any blueness at all. I did a 50 min morning swim session. After I normally do a 20 min set resistance training, but even though I did not feel tired or worn from the swim, I just could not be bothered. My body did not feel geared up for it. My muscles were simply too relaxed.
It seems like I got the sedation/anesthetic effect from the higher dose (more than 3 drops) of progesterone, yet no visible changes to the spider veins. So my questions are:
- How much and how often have people applied Progest-E for varicose veins and spider veins to get results? Anyone else had the sedation effect from a highish dose on the skin?
