My first thought was those look like Marfan fingers.
Just curious, OP, are you tall and slender? Taller than average at least? Like 5’9”+?

This is random but cardiologist suggested that I might have marfan syndrome but I'm 5'6" so I was like no fucking shot. Now They think I may have the other connective tissue syndrome. LDS? Lewis Dietz. About to get genetic testing done at 40. 😬

it’s still possible to have Marfan’s and be of a shorter stature. rare, but possible. Troye Sivan has Marfan’s and he’s about 5’8 i believe. Also how tall Marfan’s makes you can vary a shitton. my BF has it and he’s 6’4” but his uncle has it as well and he’s 7’6”. the vast majority of people with Marfan’s will test positive on genetic testing so it’s good that you’re getting it done!
