In Terry's Nails the lunula (crescent moon shape) is absent, yours are clearly still there. Terry's Nails are no longer used as a diagnostic in liver disease either but if you have concerns about your liver health you need to see your doctor. They are best placed to carry out any tests etc.

It's actually against forum rules to post pictures for comment. Admin usually jump in and delete.
