melanonychia? this is a darkish streak/line that appears on nails and the big toe. I read that certain meds can cause this and of course I have a smallish line on my middle finger and a longer line on my big toe! they are very thin lines.
I"ll try to find a link to what it looks like.

it's the thumb picture with the thin dark line, the line on my middle finger is very short but the line on my toenail is longer.

I've seen this in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients who had symptoms typical of Lyme/chronic infection. It is a known, if not too common, finding in RA.
Do you know your RA Factor? Do you have joint pain?

hm, no I don't have joint pain, haven't been tested so I don't know the RA factor. thanks for posting!
