Terry nails

[Akashrajput]

I'm a 23 year guy from india I've b12 and iron deficiency anemia.

I commented on someone's post on Terry nails which was posted on pernicious anemia group and someone told me to post this question on thyroid group.

Does Terry nail indicate thyroid problem ? Has anyone experienced Terry nails before

Welcome to our forum Akashrajput and I'm sorry you have nail problems.

This is a link that describes the condition and any member who also has this will respond when they read your post. In the meantime this link that may be helpful.

Has your doctor diagnosed you as having pernicious anaemia? You need a special test to confirm P.A. . Sometimes one autoimmune disease can affect another or the person may develop others.

I have several autoimmune conditions one is P.A. as well as hypothyroidism

.

Ask your doctor to refer you to a Specialist and this is an excerpt from the following link:

"Terry's nails don't need to be treated. They'll go away as the underlying condition associated with them improves. However, all of the associated conditions can be very serious. If you think you have Terry's nails, see your doctor so any underlying conditions can be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.17 Dec 2019

Everyone doesn't always develop the same conditions .

Do you have a problem with your thyroid gland? As you already have an autoimmune condtion, your problem may recede as you attempt to heal it. Once we have Pernicious Anaemia it remains with us and we control it by B12 injections.
