Fun fact if you have nerve damage in your hands this doesn't happen. Or at least with the right nerve damage.

That just means only your left hand gets wrinkly.

You, Dear Redditor, are correct! Noticed this after years of observing my wife battle to live with GBS and my reletively new development of Raynaud's. The first time we noticed it was when she came home from the hospital (after 8 months) and got to take her first, full body bath. When I got her out of the tub & was drying her off, we noticed that her feet/toes weren't looking like little prunes. Didn't know why, just so happy she was home I don't recall we questioned it at all.

How has her battle with GBS been? Can't say I have talked to anyone else who was also diagnosed.

Slow and never-ending. That said, although NO diagnosis of GBS is a walk in the park, her's was pretty damn brutal. We almost lost her on more than one occassion. She has regained a great deal but also deals with daily pain, neuropathy, and a wide range of cognitive, balance, and other issues. There are a couple of on-line support groups she is in contact with. Can't give you guidance on these as she came upon them on her own, and given how much she has regained control over, I try to remain at arms length unless things go off the rails. What's the saying, "although she be small, yet she be mighty"? That's my woman!

I had a nerve cut in the middle toe, left foot. Can confirm: pad does not shrivel like the other nine toes.

Some people are just born without it too. My gf thought I was the weird one with wrinkly hands.
