A vein question

So just out of curiosity has anyone else had their veins shrink? My veins will shrink down to tiny thread like size, really, really small. Then at other times they look normal. Granted I've always had tiny veins, but I've never noticed them shrinking so drastically. Has anyone else experienced this or know the cause. Obviously it's nothing serious, but it's just kind of weird.

I was thinking the same thing. My veins tend to shrink noticeably when I am dehydrated...or on my way to becoming dehydrated.

I have been using not just water and juices to keep me hydrated, but coconut water as well. I was told about it a few months ago and it has helped me quite a bit. Also, the more hydrated I am, the easier it is for me to get mucus out. I have tried numerous brands and flavors (found at health food stores) and they all seem to work about the same, so I usually go with the cheapest!

Other than that...I can't think of anything else. Good luck!
