Black lines on nails

I know the white lines is zinc..

I'm sorry it wasn't sooner but I wanted to say thanks and update as I really am grateful for your guys help. I just read about the rule... I'm glad it wasn't around 7 months ago because it was asking here that encouraged me to see a doctor. Thanks again.

And thanks to you 13 for letting us know.  I know that many of us appreciate it when we can learn the outcome of matters we have chosen to comment upon.....BUT OBVIOUSLY WOULD NEVER ADVISE UPON.....(Even though the rule 13 never even existed 7 months ago)

This bot is quite benign, because there is no active link to a gambling site, counsellor service or drug supplier.

Lol IKR. They were a problem when I was here before.....bit like the spam bug they seem to be prevalent here.

Na mate.....BOTS are fair game here...trust me, they are pervasive little critters. 

Lol great reply. I hope the bot replies or maybe it can't comput your response.

Bots have rights....this forum is big enough for all of us

Thank you so much for your support and help with your 7 months back....you were right! It was iron deficiency. I've had pills from my doctor and iron levels are normal again now.

Thanks!

Hi Chloe Mod,

Actually no one gave me advice, Shardovan very kindly suggested what it could be and was actually spot on. It was iron deficiency and I am a lot better now. And Number suggested I could be a zebra which was my doctor's second guess......who knew right!?!

Thanks guys. I appreciate your help all those months ago it helped me a lot that day.

Thanks Chloe.....but may I ask, why the reminder about rule 13....but no HELL HOUNDS for the Unabomber BOT ?

Dear community members, please be conscious of community rule number 13 which states 'Users should not provide medical or legal advice to other users. Giving medical or legal advice can have serious consequences, even if you’re trying to help another member. Please suggest they get advice from a professional.'

Many thanks,

Wow - hello BOT.  What a fine specimen you are !  I bet you wouldn't manage a Captur thingy - "where are the bridges", "where are the traffic lights type of thing"........but everyone is welcome in this place.

We are all sunshine and rainbows towards everyone, all the time, because we are lovely.

EXCEPT..........

NON HUMANS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

I THINK WE HAVE RULES ABOUT IT.  DON'T YOU BOTS GET IT.......THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU.

Please release the rabid hell hounds of our ancient ancestors on these digital dil_ _s.

With thanks to the MODS - and apologies to anyone of a delicate disposition who doesn't like angry number soup.

I had this about 3 years ago and it was iron deficiency. I was pale as well but I thought that was just because I was a ghost

It's great that you're reaching out for insights! Those thin black lines on your nails might be due to a few different reasons.

My mum always said, if you haven't got anything nice to say.....etc

Accordingly, I have nothing to say about your "almost worked."

INSERT smiling, winking, attempting-to-be-funny-myself emoji

That joke almost worked. 

That goes with the other symptom- feeling kind of hoarse

I just google this for you and it turns out that you are probably a Zebra.  Who knew?!

Could be iron deficiency. I’m no Doctor mind you! I get vertical white lines sometimes and When doctors notice (not because I’ve brought it up, they just like to examine nails I think!) they tend to suggest I get tested for iron levels though they’ve generally been ok. 

one think I’ve noticed is that my thumb nails are like seismographs for stress and inflammation. I had pericarditis a few years back and for months afterwards my thumbnails had pronounced ridges that took months to grow out. They seem ok for now! No scurvy imminent it seems.
