Ok, this week is full of new weird symptoms. My finger pads are not always wrinkly, but when I push on the pad it leaves an indent for quite a while. Ideas? Has anyone had this?

Well pretty sure I have pots so maybe thats because of low blood volume thenMine are always like that. My kids have always thought it funny that when I do up a button there is a recognisable button imprint on my finger for some time or small circle imprint when I use a click pen.
I've heard 2 explanations for it
1. Low blood volume - so a level of dehydration
2. Loss of subdermal fat layer, apparently common in autoimmune illnesses
Note I don't know whether either of those are correct
This makes me feel better. Why is it we have so many symptoms that come and go that are a part of other autoimmune diseases? I've noticed this anyway...OR is it just me?.This symptom comes and goes for me.
Ditto. I have no idea why it happens some times and not others.This symptom comes and goes for me.
Refresh my memory please. Well so far I still can see fingerprints lol. But can you elaborate a little? Thanks sushi!@sillysocks84 And then there is the other finger pad question: are you losing your fingerprints? We've discussed and joked about this in the past, but it is a common occurrence.
Ever since getting sick I don't sweat much. During my remission my underarms started sweating some again though. Tmi, yes.Sometimes I get that from sweating through my palms alot too.

Makes sense, I was cleaning up my dog's mess from being sick as well the night before, so maybe my skin didn't like the cleaner. Thanks!Lol, well another reason it can happen not mentioned is oils being stripped from the dermis layer of our skin, which can happen with contact allergies, dermatitis, and eczema, dry skin, thyroid/hormone issues some of which are common with these kinds of illnesses.
