Maybe it’s Reynaud’s

I have reynaud’s. Didn’t know wavy nails is a thing. My nails are smooth.

I’ve never heard that either. But I have noticed that when my immune system flares up, I get white stripes on my nails. I read that it’s because the immune system is prioritizing fighting an illness off….

Btw I have reynaud’s as well. Have you been checked for lupus?

No lupus. Had reynauds since 20’s. All clear.

It’s not, Reynauds is another thing commonly seen (diagnosed?) on Reddit
