Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Does he suck or chew on his fingers? Are they doing any arts and crafts at preschool/school with with fingerpaints, clay, etc? any new substances/toys he got over the holidays that he's using a lot? All fingers or just some? Which ones? S S <p>Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on why my son is<br> having very sensitive fingertips. They are reddened and crack<br> easily...and very wrinkled...like he has been soaking in water too<br> much. This is very new for him. We just finished our first round of<br> oral DMSA for four days on per Andy's protocol, but this finger thing<br> was noted for about a week prior. <br> Thanks for any input...<br> Deanne<br> <br> </p> </div> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--> <span width= " 1 " style= " color: white; " ></span> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEnd|**|-~--> </body> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--> <head> <style type= " text/css " > <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;*font-size:small;*font:x-small;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;*font-size:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family: Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin: 0 0 1em 0; } #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family: Arial; clear: both; } #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top: 10px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 77%; margin: 0; } #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding: 0 1px; } #ygrp-actbar{ clear: both; margin: 25px 0; white-space:nowrap; color: #666; text-align: right; } #ygrp-actbar .left{ float: left; white-space:nowrap; } ..bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family: Verdana; font-size: 77%; padding: 15px 0; } #ygrp-ft{ font-family: verdana; font-size: 77%; border-top: 1px solid #666; padding: 5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom: 10px; } #ygrp-vital{ background-color: #e0ecee; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 2px 0 8px 8px; } #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size: 77%; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; color: #333; text-transform: uppercase; } #ygrp-vital ul{ padding: 0; margin: 2px 0; } #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type: none; clear: both; border: 1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight: bold; color: #ff7900; float: right; width: 2em; text-align:right; padding-right: .5em; } #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight: bold; } #ygrp-vital a { text-decoration: none; } #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color: #999; font-size: 77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding: 6px 13px; background-color: #e0ecee; margin-bottom: 20px; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding: 0 0 0 8px; margin: 0; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type: square; padding: 6px 0; font-size: 77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration: none; font-size: 130%; } #ygrp-sponsor #nc { background-color: #eee; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0 8px; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding: 8px 0; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; color: #628c2a; font-size: 100%; line-height: 122%; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration: none; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin: 0; } o {font-size: 0; } ..MsoNormal { margin: 0 0 0 0; } #ygrp-text tt{ font-size: 120%; } blockquote{margin: 0 0 0 4px;} ..replbq {margin:4} --> </style> </head> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEnd|**|-~--> </html><!--End group email --> <p> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 We had no visible signs such as described here, but ours complained about her fingertips being sensitive when doing things such as opening the car door or doing anything that put pressure on them. I assumed this was a sensory integration problem and it has reduced with chelation and weirdly enough, rx antifungals. [ ] Re: Painful fingertips. > Hello everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hey .. Nothing that is obvious. No, he does not suck on his fingers. They are all this way. No new crafts or anything.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 > Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on why my son is > having very sensitive fingertips. I heard a radio ad yesterday for a clinical trial, and it was for this issue as it related to diabetes. So you might consider that.
