I have a lunula on one of my fingernails.

Only here would anyone have a clue how exciting that is.

That I am healing and it has accelerated as I improve my self-treatment is definitive. Having a visual is nice.

When I first went to injecting three times a day two people whom I love said "I don't know what you are doing but keep doing it." was very helpful.

Thank you for your posts ! Mine are coming back too, the thumb is the biggest ! Little fingers still nothing. It's a good sign I think. Happy Christmas and a very healthy New Year to you.

Yes - me too. Can't say I miss the others, but yes, I think I'd be just as excited as WIZARD6787 .

Didn't know they were lunulae - but this forum offers a wealth of an education.

Yay! Go Wiz! Go!

Fab news!

I have none on 5 fingers and others are so pale that hardly visible.

I hadn’t thought of watching them - I will take more interest in future!

Merry Christmas everyone!

🤶🤶🤶

Well that was interesting. I feel like I'm in a lunula club. Definitely superior to the illuminati.

Presence - loss, and return - of lunulae has been a topic on the Thyroid UK forum quite a few times.

Search isn't good but here's a few:

I only have lunula faintly on my thumbs. So they may be coming back. Also the brittle cracking nails are healed. Subtle signs but promising. 🙏

I'm also in the "only thumbs" club.

I didn’t know my lack of lunula (thumbs and a tiny peek of an index finger) was a B12 sign. I’m in the thyroid and possibly B12 camp. Currently self injecting for peripheral neuropathy.

I’ve now looked and there is a bit more on my index finger and a very small showing on my middle finger.

Is this a common B12 symptom?
