Re: Crescents? Fibro fact ((Interesting))

[Guest guest]

I never noticed this before. How interesting, I did notice that I have

what looks like very tiny and small crescents just barely visible at

the base of each nail. except the thumb...I was hoping that this meant

I don't have fibro. LOL I guess they will continue to disappear over

time. My doctors did just dx me not too long ago, thinking that I got

this sometime this last year. maybe they go away slowly so that we

don't notice it. cause when I went to high school I had nice long

nails. but now they just break and are very brittle. and My hair is

thin and brittle too. thanks for the website it was helpful.

Excuse me? I can't particularly vouch for the material at the web site. It

found it interesting and said so. But to be accurate, I don't tend to believe

anything I read. I take it all in as information.

Was that comment intended to be insulting?? Because it was.

Re: Crescents? Fibro fact ((Interesting))

Guess some people will believe anything they read. I like factual

based info myself. So long!!!!

Just thought I'd throw in my new info from earlier - I asked hubby to

check his finger nails when he got home from work - he can vividly see

the crescents on his thumbs, barley on his index finger, and cannot see

them at all on the other fingers. That is how mine are too, as far as I

can see - I have artificial nails so I can't see them through the

acrylic, but I can see the thumb and index finger half moons through the

acrylic. Anyhow just thought I'd share, hubby doesn't have fibro.

I never said it was unique to Fibro. According to several medical websites;

quite a few things can cause it.

I never paid much attention to them in a long time. Many years ago a

coworker told me something about if you are getting proper nutrition you

could see your half moons on your thumbs. Years later, I went through a

time when I wasn't eating enough (fibro related ibs, anxiety and

depression resulting in inabiltiy to eat) and worried about being too

thin and malnourished, so I'd check my half moons all the time for

reassurance.

I also would get a mark on one of my nails during a bout of tummy virus

or other illness where I may not eat right for days. I'd have a white

mark that would just stay on there til it grew out and I'd wonder if it

was a mark from whatever bug. I haven't got one of those in a very long

time though, not since I ate that bad peanut butter a year and a half ago.

My nails have always been pretty thin and they do grow out when I'm

getting good calcium, but then break because they are so flimsy. So I

got me some fake ones at Christmas time. I like 'em now, they so purdy!
