I don't know where to start.
I'm off work with a bad dose of flu and was just starting to feel better when my latest health crisis hit me.
I have some horizontal white lines on my thumbnails. So I googled to see what they could be and it came up with something called Muehrkes nails. Caused by either malnutrition (which I don't have) or liver disease.
I am 57 and enjoy a glass of wine. Probably more than I should but not as much as many people I know. I daren't google the signs of liver disease as I won't be able to cope.
The lines have been there a long time. I had a full blood test earlier this year due to some previous health worries and it was all clear.
I know no one on here is a medical expert but could someone please say something reassuring before I go out of my mind. I'm really desperate.
