Finger Nail Changes

[Aleigh44]

Can anybody tell me if my finger nails look the correct colour ? They are all the same with a white patch in the middle I have ridges going down them and some pitting on some nails too. ( Undiagnosed currently but under a rheumatologist for severe muscle pains but trying to widen my search for myself ) Thankyou for looking

I haven't seen that sort of thing with limited scleroderma, but when I was first diagnosed with secondary raynaulds, each of the fingernails got a few black spelk like lines down them and then the nails gradually lifted off, one by one as the nail beds swelled up. The new nails look normal most of the time now, apart from blanching when I extend my fingers. Good luck with getting your diagnosis sorted. X

My fingers are almost exactly the same as yours in colour and in ridged surfaces. But, maybe yet to come...my nails split down the ridge paths and beyond the quick which is painful...so I have to cut my nails right down so they don't catch on anything. I have Systemic Sclerosis. I ,too, get muscle pain which seems to travel around my body on different days or weeks. Hope you get some diagnosis soon.

Mine are exactly the same but mine are nearly always blue with white in middle like yours.

My nails are identical to yours but I never considered it an issue. I have primary Raynauds

I CAN TELL YOU MINE ARE WHITE. THE DOCTORS NOTICED IT. CREST IS JUST SO MUCH FUN. AMLODIPINE 10MG, GABAPENTIN NIGHT TIME, ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES, PAIN MEDS, DIET NUTRITION. SEE A RHUEMATOLOGIST NOW. DO TESTING FOR IMMUNE DISEASE AND SEE IMMUNE SPECIALIST, PAIN DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. HAND PT, BIOFREEZE ALSO PARAFFIN WAX HELPS. BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE SPEAK UP. GOOD LUCK JULIE

I never thought my nails looked different from others' nails but mine are just like yours! have Primary Raynaulds. My nails are very strong and I am not concerned about them.

My nails are the same. I have just been diagnosed with Primary Reynaud's. I just thought it was normal.
