Fibro symptom? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

I found on another website a checklist for fibro and it talks about the loss of the moons on your fingernails.

I only have moons on my thumbs, is this crazy or what. I asked my mom and she only has one moon on her one thumb and she doesn't have fibro....lol

If I remember correctly there are quite a few things that will show up in the nails, even vitamin deficiencies. There are quite a few sites out there that discuss diseases and abnormalities in nails.

Now this is quite a coincidence. When I have hypothyroidism, the moons on my fingers all disappear but my thumbs. I dont have fibro.

mmm? interesting

I usually have them on just my thumbs also.. but

if i push the cuticles back on my fingers then they show up there too...

I have had fibro since .. forever ... but was dxd in 1991

I don't know what it is, I don't have many moons and neither do my children. The only moons is the thumbs...check out your family members and see how many moons they have.
