    White thumbnails...liver fear

    I've been really trying to rationalise this and not to post....But I've given in.

    My main HA fear is liver damage/disease....

    So in the last few days both my thumbnails have become a lot paler, bordering on white in places, mainly in the upper half of them. There is the dark band at the top. My moons/lunulas are still visible, but could it be Terrys nail spreading downwards till they are not visible at all?? I'm really, really freaking out that it's liver related, I've been comparing them to every other nail on photos or my boyfriend.... I had a liver function test in October and it was normal...

    Thanks in advance.

    Irrational fear + hyper vigilance + self examination + skewed perception due to anxiety = panic

    Eh. Fingernails are weird. I have a white spot under one. One of my thumbnails looked really wrinkly for a little while. Not sure exactly when it went back to normal, but I think it took a while. These things just happen sometimes.

    My fingernails don’t always stay the same all the time. But my liver is fine. Trust your test you had done. If it is normal, it is normal. No if’s, and’s, or but’s.
