Question

I am examining my left fingertips closely this morning. My middle finger and ring finger are showing the location of the wrinkles, as color changes still. But they are not raised and cannot be felt. I left the cream on all night. Maybe I should have washed it off?

That you for posting the links MrsD. This whole thing blows my mind.

And all you experimenters (a.k.a guinea pigs), please share your findings!

Default pinkie typing

applied, no tape, though I may pick some up. I'll update later. I probably should've before photoed my hands, for at least mysel.

Pinkie typing is difficult.

Hmm. Not a wrinkle. Not one. I put a dab on each finger tip, spread it out evenly and let it dry over the course of the half hour. Left hand first, right hand second.

I am going to pick up some of the tape mentioned in the NIH link tomorrow. We had those band aids in the house at the start of the summer, but it appears skinned knees and elbows depleted the supply.

I expected abnormal, not zero. So I wonder if the tape is that important.

I didn't put any tape on my fingers. But I did put quite a bit on.
I rubbed it in a bit too.

Yeah, me too. I will do it again later tonight if Iam up late, tomorrow if I am not. Not one wrinkle. I was not shy on the amount, figuring more was not going to change the results, but skimping could.

Hmm

I think the doctors used "covering" in the study, because they usually always cover EMLA cream. They are used to that and think it HAS to be done that way.

The current results are sobering, but at the same time I am thankful. I feel for people stuck with idiopathic for many reasons, but a diagnosis is a prison of sorts, at times.

Despite all my changes further testing has been at a standstill despite marching symptoms. This test points to small fiber issues, correct?

I have appointments next month. It will be interesting to see if this will bring about a punch biopsy.

My right hand results are very different from my left.
Only my rt ring finger is barely showing any wrinkle.
The rest show nothing.

A little history.. My father slammed our car door on
My right hand when I was 5 or so. It damaged my middle
Finger up to the first joint and so that finger is a bit crooked
And stiff today.I also had a mucoid cyst on it recently
which I finally cured. So I get sharp stabs in it fairly often.
The ring finger was smashed too but only across the nail.
It was a terribly painful thing and took a long time healing.
I remember crying in school too.. I couldn't do much for a long
Time.

This was the more severely affected hand during my pregnancy
too. So I am not surprised that I am not getting much if
any wrinkle results tonight on my rt. hand.
