Dr. Kraft and others - question about finger ridges

[Guest guest]

In Dr. Bell's book (and in writings by others as well), it is mentioned

that patients with CFS often lack finger ridges. I was wondering if

that was the case with Dr. Kraft, if she does not mind responding.

The question sounds strangeunless you have read Dr. Bell's book where

he mentions it. I was reading his book and the meinute I came across

this, I immediately looked at my fingertips and sure enough there were

no ridges that I could see. Now I am discerning faint ridges and I am

also having less fatigue and more stamina. I cannot say for sure that

the ridges were totally gone before and are now back as they are very

faint now. I have to look at them in a just the right way in a good

light to see the ridges.

I specifically wanted to ask Dr. Kraft about this as I know from her

posts how severe her condition is. I know it is not something you

would think to check without having read Dr.Bell's book or come across

it elsewhere.

Also, I would be interested in hearing from the rest of the posters

here about whether you have finger ridges or not. I asked this question

once before but not recently.

Thanks for any responses.
