Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Sher, the last I was at my Pulm. Dr. my nails were purplish ( I thought it was a pretty color)and she said if your nails are not pink any blue or purple put your air on. My second toe is very bulbed. I would love a french pedicure but the white would be on the floor.. so it's plain Jane for me. Love and Prayers, Peggy 9/04 ipf Florida Gale...I have the clubbing nails too. Nails turning downward. I have some of that on some of my toe nails too. My fingernails are purplish as well and are even sore! Sher " Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there " Re: Red Cuticles, Peggy Peggy.. you mentioned something about looking at some pictures from a few years ago and noticed red cuticles. I have been looking at my hands a lot lately, trying to figure out what " clubbing " is and I noticed that my fingernails (just past the cuticle) are beginning to look purple (or reddish). I have been puzzled about that. Is that what you saw? If so, I am no longer puzzled. It must be a symptom of the " monster " .. right? Love you: Gale in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 My second toes on both feet are clubbed too. What a nuisance. I hate to get a pedicure because my fingers/toes look funny but I can't do my own anymore either. Love ya.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Schamroth's test or Schamroth's window test (originally demonstrated by South African cardiologist Dr Leo Schamroth on himself[2]) is a popular test for clubbing. When the distal phalanges of corresponding digits of opposite hands are directly apposed, fingernail to fingernail, a small diamond-shaped "window" is apparent between the nailbeds. If this window is obliterated, the test is positive and clubbing is present. Here is a self test for clubbing. Couldn't say it better (((LOL)) P PS ok everybody break you fingers now LOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClubbingSher K Bauman wrote: ...my nails don't look like this picture. These nails look almost...infected. My nails grow downward over the tips of my fingers and the tip of my fingers are getting more bulbous. My nails still look 'normal' however. Just this strange rounded look and also purplish cuticles. Is this what is yet to come???? Yipes. Sher ipf 5-06 "Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there" Re: Red Cuticles, Peggy Here is some infro on clubbing. There is a self test for clubbing that I cannot explain LOL in plain English since i am a engineer (old joke) P Do a seach for clubbing on the group posts http://www.aic.cuhk.edu.hk/web8/Clubbing.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubbing http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/18127.htmgale17444aol wrote: Peggy.. you me! ntioned something about looking at some pictures from a few years ago and noticed red cuticles.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Now, , this is not the same explanation of this technique as you sent the first time....and not nearly so funny! I think I understood your explanation better than I understand 'distal phalanges of corresponding digits'...whut? Hugs, Joyce > Peggy.. you me! ntioned something about looking at some pictures from a few years ago and noticed red cuticles.
