Weird ridges on fingertips, anyone else?

[percyval577]

@valentinelynx I didn´t notice any of the posts. (Maybe cats are too soft on computers.)





(...also polar-bears)

OK, weird, now it's not just my fingerprints disappearing, but my posts about my disappearing fingerprints... I know I replied to this thread. I think I was the first to reply to it. And, @pattismith responded to my reply by asking how I knew I was "unfingerprintable". To which I replied with a story about trying and failing to get fingerprinted for a license application. Where did my posts go? And where did @pattismith's reply go?

the cats stole it and hide it this way:

I think I found your posts - they're in a different thread

Ha! @bread. fooled me by posting new thread with this inquiry about fingerprints, after originally posting it in another thread! It's hard enough for cats to keep these things straight, let alone ME/CFS patients! Thanks for looking @Mary (fellow kitty) and @pattismith (the polar bear)...

Somewhere I have a copy of his theory about this.

I've posted about this effect here, including a link to an excellent and wide varying presentation by Dr. Cheney, and a fingerprint photo from the presentation.

I also have the pruney fingers and distorted fingerprints.

Anyone else? With or without EDS?

If your hands are wrinkled too, I think it could be a sign of having Autonomic Neuropathy

See this thread discussing the following paper;

[There were three patients with wrinkled hands at baseline. All these patients had abnormal results on tilt table test. Maybe wrinkled hands predict the outcome of the tilt table test.]

I have these wrinkles on my fingertips too. They appeared after I’d had ME for nearly a decade. I’ve only had them for the last four or five years.

My mum has them too. She has had them for decades with nothing wrong with her. Totally healthy apart from usual colds. She’s in her mid seventies.

They seem weird to me too.

ETA My tilt table test was normal, and neither my mum or I have an EDS diagnosis, though we are asymptomatic hypermobile.

Anyone else? With or without EDS?

Yes, not only my fingers but also my tongue 👅 and my teens are feeling dead. This started after a few months that I became ill (1997), and never stopped. Try to live whit it was the answer of my doctor!!!
