early onset varicose veins
veins visible through skin
fragile veins (phlebitis)

Asthma
TMJ
Family members with hypermobile joints and mitral valve prolapse
Near sighted
Thin hair
Joint problems-nine knee surgeries for cartilage tears-meniscus transplant in right knee-two shoulder surgeries for bone spurs
