Spider veins

Has anyone seen a difference in spider veins from taking thyroid? I’ve had a leg ultrasound done. All is well. But I keep getting them. So obviously my veins are weakening. Was hoping thyroid would help.

Although thyroid function probably enters into the equation, there are more things that affect the veins which point to other things you can do. Inflammation and estrogen come to mind. Banishing all polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) from the diet would be helpful because PUFA is inflammatory and estrogenic.
