Hello,

it is me again! :yesyes: I have developed weird symptom today that is certainly not just in my head. My nailbeds have gone paler in weird patterns. I am enclosing photos here. Most drastic are thumbs and index fingers. I have no clue what is going on.

I have had IV and the nurse failed 5 attems, causing me a bit larger painful bruises, could it form a blood clot and restrict the blood flow?

It doesn't look like Terry's nails exactly, does it? Please, any opinion will be appreciated, I am really worried...

"I have no clue what is going on."

Seriously? Ummm... That's because there's nothing going on :lac:

Do you just mean that your nails seem paler than usual? I don't really see any "white." Also, what is Terry's nails?

If they're just paler than usual it's most likely anemia. What was the IV for?

I looked up Terry's nails. Your nails don't look like that. :)

Yes some areas turned paler and i don't know why.

The iv was when i was in hospital for neurological problems but it turned out it was all just probably stress and undergone boreliosis. They had to give me fluids because i was expected to have laparoscopy for ovarian cyst they found on ultrasound, but it didn't happen after all. I was dehydrated so that's why. It's been a week now and i still have horrible bruising because they nurse broke my veins several times.

They tested for anemia because the doctor could swear i have it but nope, came clear. Although I've just had my period and it was a bit heavier because of the cyst hopefully bursting and the nails happened yesterday.

It seems as though they aren't getting enough blood, but only the nails, fingertips are fine
