for most of this Spring & Summer I have thought my fingernails were yellow (I didnt know if it was my imagination) I never polish them...So I didnt like that they were yellow for no reason that I could come up with.

I was just reading an article on what your nails can tell you & it said: A wide variety of diseases can be detected by looking at changes your nails. Lung disease and lymphedema can cause yellow discoloration.

The article really didnt say much else...but here is the link if you want to look at it.

    Dejaboo, that's a new one for me. For sure I've never heard of yellow discoloration of the nails as a way to diagnose LE! I wish it had gone into a bit more detail. Anybody here with discolored nails?

    Be well,
    Binney
