Hi Dr. Diana, I do not have moons in any of my fingernails.
I’m so glad you’re seeing improvement, Diana! I love my “moons.”
Hi Dr. Diana,
I’ve never heard of this before, not having moons that is. I’ve never given mine a second thought until I saw this video. I have no moons except on my thumbs. I couldn’t quite understand in the video what it was that you called them. Would love if you could let me know what it is called so that I can look it up. Thanks!! Keep up the great work 🙂
Hello!
I think you are hilarious, and very informative. I have just started watching your videos.. I have many symptoms.. I have been diagnosed with sjogrens, CFS, Lymes, Eagles syndrome, cardiomyopthay (left ventricle issues) and MORE.. I also have no moons, except thumbs. Am I missing something in a video where you explain why, and how your moons improved???? You just mention in this video that they are improved. Pleas let me know! And thank-you for the great laugh, and info…
I don’t understand why you aren’t sharing with us what is making you better. What is making you better?
I’m 21 with pots and ehlrs danlosand I have lost my moons 🙁 you can see some faint lines on some of my fingers, but I compared them to my moms and dads nails and they have bright contrasting moons! Very interesting.
I have moons. I also have vertical lines and my nails are like paper.
HI KTgotmilk2, Honestly, I am hitting my disorder with everything I can find, and I’m not exactly sure what has been important, and what has been a waste of time and money! As I figure it out, I will continue to share all on this site and in my books. Hoping my journey is somehow helpful to us all. 😉
Wierd. My moons are gone! There are collecting rations on my thumbnails thatvlook like moons but they are red. Ive been having problems with my nails actually cracking, breaking and peeling.
I have had numerous nerve related problems, but I believe I have cervicothoracic junction syndrome for over 10 years.
I also have had many other issues which convince me sometime that I have MS.
