Fingerprint change

According to Dr Paul Cheney, around 40% of ME/CFS patients have fingerprint changes that may show as faded prints and/or lines across the fingerprints, horizontal and vertical. Ten percent of ME/CFS patients cannot be fingerprinted whatsoever. This may also happen with other diseases, such as Raynaud’s syndrome, celiac disease, some autoimmune conditions, and some skin diseases, but it's extremely rare in the general population.
