Black line down nails?

[Lupdaloop]

Just randomly looked up on net, on NHS it's saying can be connected with Lupus? Any one else have this?

Had it on my toes for years - Dr's never acknowledged it. Had lot's of what l now know to be classic symptoms of Lupus were also ignored for over 10 years.

Yes, I have the ridges on all fingernails, but strangely only one black line running lengthways on my right thumb.

I get dark areas in my nails. It is blood that has been released (according to my Consultant) and is a sign of the illness. My left big toe has been black for the last year for one third of the width. It is now working it's way out. I also have numerous, what I call, blood blisters in all toe and finger my nails. My fingers are also quite colourful and looks like I have been using various dye's.

Yes, I get these a lot, but only on my toe nails. It truly hurts, so much more than you would think as they are reasonably small
