What to do about hands?
48F. I’ve always been thin’ish but in the last year or so my veins have gone crazy on my hands. People notice and close friends and family ask me what happened to my hands. Please advise what can be done for this problem.

48F. That shadow just breaks my confidence. It looks much worse from a distance. I’ve been using tret, vit c, SPF, estradiol cream a few times a week and a month back added red light panel which I use 3-4 times a week for 5min. I’ve gotten DAO Botox s as couple of times and last one was in April. I don’t think it makes much of a difference though my injector (a plastic surgeon) recommends it. I asked her about Sculptra which she recommended. I don’t have any fillers. 4 years post menopausal if that helps.
I used to have repeated episodes of frozen shoulder and upper back in perimenopause a few years back. I started strength training which made it completely go away for 4 years. Unfortunately it came back a few days back. I’ve been in menopause for 4 years now and on HRT for 3 years. I recently changed my weekly 0.025 estradiol patch to the biweekly patch of same strength. I’m wondering if this back pain is the result of this change. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
47F. What would you do to improve these tired looking eyes if you were me? I’m not tired it’s just what my permanent face has become.
47F The skin just crinkles and looks so saggi. I’ve good skincare routine and do weightlifting. It looks perfect at rest 🤯
I got my a1c3 and fasting sugar level in December 2025 and it showed I was pre diabetic. I wanted to get another test done as it’s been 6 months but my provider rejected saying it was unnecessary. Where do I get the test done from? I’m in Bay Area, USA.
I’ve been using castor oil on by eyebrows and eyelashes for over a year now. Yes, it has made my lashes thicker and longer but I noticed dramatic orbital fat loss as well. I researched a bit and there is no scientific evidence of it but I wanted to ask this group if you have noticed it too. I’m afraid to use castor oil now.
