I'm sure you all have noticed if you wake up in the morning after sleeping in a certain way you may have lines or indentions on your face arms or whatever Exposed Skin.

I'm sure this is quite normal but I now get this and it takes a very very long time for it to go away.

Perhaps it's part of the aging process and I'm just now noticing this. I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten this and if they associate it with lyme or aging?

Sorry if this seems to be a ridiculous question but wondered if I'm the only one?

Its like a blood pressure thing .perhaps a aldosterone-renin system failure or perhaps a nitric oxide thing ...when i first took abx for unrelated thing

its like i had vasculitis so bad that the capillary refill on my hands feet everywhere was really slow ..like zombie slow a bag of grocerys left deep indentions for 5 min

even now when i press the elevator my finger stays flat for a minute ..this process i believe is what started the wasting syndromes. Maybe it was heart inflammation as its gotten better with treatment. .

or maybe a gut thing with bacteria making NOxide...idk but chewing licorice helps ..venom helps

wow. I wasn't too worried but this sounds scary. Thought maybe it was part of getting older.

my fingers stay flat too.

how can I get to the bottom of this?

I am getting ready to do a comprehensive metabolic panel, as is routinely done, but I haven't had one in a while. Will that provide any answers?

anything else I should test for? How do u test for aldoseterone renin system failure or nitric oxide?

Get a silk pillow case and no lines. The ones on your body nobody can see :-)

Good questions gigi. .. it is like you could monitor your blood pressure ,check kidney function and thorasic outlet but testing and equipment isnt that accurate /advanced

And like with most western medicine what to do even if they find the cause ?...maybe a physio doc/ rn or marnie will chime in

ok, I will check blood pressure. cmp should reveal basic kidney function I guess but thorasic outlet? don't know anything about that. I have had pretty extensive heart tests. blood test, ultrasound, heart holter etc. so maybe can cross that off? and silk pillow won't hurt. :)thanks!
