Talk:Erythromelalgia

message: So I've just rewritten this page and it seems much better now. However it'd really benefit from some images of patients during an attack. If someone has access to such images please upload them and add them to the page. Alternatively, contact me via email from my userpage and I'll assist with uploading/editing. --Dpryan 08:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience.  Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.  
The following kinds of links are inappropriate:
*  Online discussion groups or chat forums
*  Personal webpages and blogs
*  Multiple links to the same website
*  Fundraising events or groups
*  Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
*  Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)
I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It contradicts the incidence at the epidemiological studies with more and newer studies. Maybe part of the epidemiological part can come back to incidence if someone has the time for it. EllenvanderVeen (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Use this link to make a map in the future that has the epidemiological studies included

thread_title: History

message: The first image file is actually 5 separate photographs in one JPEG file. Here is the JPEG file of the whole thing:
See the top panel with two arms? The top arm is a left arm having an attack of erythromelalgia. The bottom arm is a right arm, which is weird, because it would be very hard for both arms to be attached to the same human in that posture on the pillow. I dare say it would be impossible. The arms would need to be behind the back.
That said, the healthy right arm (bottom of the image, in the top panel) looks a lot like it could belong to the same human - especially with a time machine made available. I feel like it may be the arm of the patient's daughter, and they have also done their nails the same way to make it extra confusing.
It's just really confusing, because that JPEG file contains two other images comparing the left and right hands of clearly the same woman, and indeed, her left arm is in much worse shape. But on that top panel, that's not her right arm. It's not free of swelling and also 40 years younger. I spent a solid 2 minutes before convincing myself that image really definitely doesn't show two arms from the same human. Fluoborate (talk) 19:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
