SunsetParadise49 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Sorry, no clue as to why he would ask that! I'm sure somebody around he will have an idea though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think wrinkled fingertips is a symptom of POTS - could be low BP or blood volume. I definitely had this a lot when I first got sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 my finger tips are wrinkled very often. i've been wondering if this could have to do with (de)hydration. never asked a doctor though. also my skin can be very dry this was noticed before by doctors (without me telling them) but no one ever payed any attention to it.corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Interesting! I've never had a doctor ask me this, but I would be interested to find out how it's connected to dysautonomia. I have noticed that the skin on my fingers wrinkles up much more quickly now than in used to when I was little. The pads of my fingers also get wrinkled up sometimes even if my hands aren't wet. I just figured I was getting "old!" But maybe I have an excuse. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimes Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 My fingertips wrinkle a lot even when I haven't had my hands in water. I've always wondered about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
