Fingernails as Windows to Health

This article and the related ones at Mayo and other sites, had me reflexively checking my nails for a while, but it is too interesting not to share:

Diseases that show up in your fingernails

Re Fingernails as Windows to Health

That really is interesting. And as my nails show, I have a thyroid disorder. Even though it's being treated, my levels fluctuate a lot, and my nails certainly reflect that.

I was sitting across the table from a person with spooned fingernails the other day and I remembered that it meant some disease, but I couldn't remember which one. Thanks!

Spooned?

My pointer finger nails twist. My middle finger nails will too if I let them grow enough. I don't see that listed there, though. Been happening since I was 11 or so. I still don't know what that is about, but I'd love to straighten them out.

I do believe about the nails telling about health. When I did the South Beach Diet my nails changed drastically. They were thick and nice, and then when I did south beach they became thinner. You could see for a while, across my nail, a band that represented the time I was on that diet.
