Fingerprint change

Fingerprint changes that may show as faded prints and/or lines across the fingerprints, horizontal and vertical, occur in approximately 40% of ME/CFS patients, according to ME/CFS expert, Dr Paul R. Cheney. 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.
