Does anyone notice that the white half moon on the base of their finger nails are getting smaller or dissapearing? If anyone has this please tell me how long or what helped it. I've heard it could be b12 deficiency but the last time my level was checked i was fine. Anyone hear anything different? thanks!

I just looked and all of mine are gone. Something I haven't even thought of. I have a very small one on both thumb nails. I looked at my husbands fingernails and he doesn't have any. He told me that to his knowledge he has never had any. I've never heard of that being a symptom of anything but it is very interesting!
With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

Numbers 6:24-26
"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

I heard for people who have never had any it is not an issue, but if you do have them and they start to go away it signals a deficiency or health issue. I heard on another forum b12 but i'm curious to see what anyone here knows.

Wow, I hadn't noticed till now. Mine are all almost gone, crazy. I know they were there before. I would love to know what this means for sure. I was very low on vit B and I started taking sublingual B complex and my number went up.....

Okay did more research and wish i hadn't...don't think i should post the many things i found, many possibilities.....It all comes down to another sign of just being darn SICK. I will ask my doc (dec 3) and THEN post what she says. But if anyone else cares to post what they found be my guest- nothing surprises me anymore.

YES mitchell save me a spot on your tree but if it starts to thunder you may find me on YOUR branch, quaking with holy fear. And pizza sounds great what does it have on it? My beasties are craving some apparently.

That brings up a good question- how often are we allowed to cheat? I mean this eating like a rabbit thing isn't exactly a piece of pie- no pun intended- okay, maybe it was. Silly Tongue
