Hi, I've suffered from enlarged veins in my hands (and recently chest and neck) for years and never been diagnosed. They can also rupture easily so I've now been left with a couple of little permanent aneurisms in my finger joints that stop me doing a lot of stuff as they're permanently weak.

After 20 years of trying to get diagnosed I feel like I've finally hit upon a couple of possible causes. Firstly I'm going to get my mercury fillings removed as prolonged mercury poisoning could be causing problems and I'm also investigating hypothyroidism as I have many symptoms relating to these two conditions and they seem to be related.

Might be worth you looking into too, let me know how you get on as I've always felt pretty alone with this.
