Vein pic or boobie pic?

You decide 😆

(It’s a vein pic lol At least that was my intention, but the boobs are looking good too 😁 And the bra is only slightly padded and not even a pushup! So most of the credit goes to the girls and not the bra 😆)

I have an issue with my neck/spine/bones that results in compression of my jugular vein (the vein bulging here) and a few other veins in my neck. It makes blood collect in my neck because the vein is malfunctioning because a bone or something out of place is pressing on it. When blood tries to go where it’s supposed to, my heart, it has trouble getting there and backs up to my brain and collects in my neck. It doesn’t matter because other veins are working properly to get the blood where it has to go. It sounds worse than it is lol

It’s not life/health threatening in any way but triggers debilitating headaches, on occasion, and makes my vein bulge like that (it doesn’t always show). There’s no cure but can be treated with chiropractic care and physical therapy or invasive surgery as a last resort. But my case is mild (even though the headaches are severe), so no need for surgery, thankfully. The surgery doesn’t always work anyway. I don’t know what caused my spine issue. I wasn’t born with it. I think it may be the result of a car crash that I was in caused by an intoxicated driver in another car, who fled the scene (and was caught), around seven years ago. I suffered a head & neck injury, and headaches began soon after. This year, the headaches have become more frequent and more severe in intensity, and they last longer now when they hit. They used to last one full day, beginning overnight or in the morning, now they last two full days usually. If they were frequent, I would be disabled and not be able to work or do much of anything because of the severity. But since they are seldom, I can push through them on the occasions one is triggered. It is very difficult though, emotionally & physically, when that happens.

This year is when my vein also began bulging out of my neck. Extensive full body medical testing shows I am in perfect health, no heart, lung, or vascular issues, no blood clots, or cancer. The number one cause of the jugular vein bulging like this (this is compression, not distention, which is most often the result of advanced heart failure) is the spine or neck issue that I have. Thankfully I only have one symptom, the headaches, and thankfully they are not frequent. I can also often prevent them by not having my head elevated while laying down and not carrying heavy things for too long. The spine issue I have is mild enough to not cause me any serious limitations or too much discomfort in general other than the occasional headaches, and sometimes localized fatigue, just in the neck there. It can progress if I’m not careful, so I’m working on taking care of it. I do self massages, and make sure I sleep flat on my back or on my side, no pillow, and soon I will visit a chiropractor to come up with a plan to better manage it.

It can result in many terrible symptoms, and I only have one off & on, so I can’t complain!!

Also, I have a lot of people with a neck/vein fetish following my Instagram account just to see my vein bulging! I post pics & videos (it pulses on occasion) of it. If I don’t post my vein for a while, they message me asking me for more. So that’s a plus lol Always look at the bright side of life, am I right? 😁

I hope you’re having a beautiful day or night wherever in the world you are! 💜
