Well having looked it up and looked at pictures of condition. It confirmed exactly what I thought- perfectly normal looking nails.I neared wrote eyes because it is the similar question asked before.

Remember we are not doctors on this site. We are people who have various pain issues and use this site to discuss ways to manage pain, and to sympathise when pain unbearable.

We cannot and indeed should not diagnose someone. If you have concerns about your health you need to see a doctor. I suspect that you may have “health anxiety” and are thinking you have (serious) conditions when you do not. Pleased speak to your gp about this because they can help. Also there are sites on health unlocked that can support you with anxiety.

It looks like Terry's nails to me. The lunula (half moon at the bottom of your nails) is not visible. I have had similar and contacted my GP. I didn't turn out to have any of the serious conditions that Terry's nails may be linked to, but I did turn out to have iron deficiency anaemia. You should contact your GP, but try not to worry.

Fascinating. When I looked at pictures they certainly appeared different to the one posted here. Also looking at my own nails they look the same as here…..Also this particular poster asked twice recently about jaundice in eyes that again looked fine!??

However I did say that we cannot diagnose here and poster should contact gp. Be interesting to know outcome.
