Has anyone had their fingernails lift from the nail bed?? It is called Onycholysis. I have nearly lost all of my fingernails and now the same thing is happening to my little sister. Is this lupus related or something else???

I lose my toenails. Not all of them just the middle 2! But they grow back. My dr said it's probably from nerve damage and my feet are numb all the time!

Yes, I just started having that and have wondered what is going on. It's just in my big toes right now. I thought I have a fungal infection so I started self treating for that. I sure hope I don't lose all of them I enjoy making my toenails pretty. Maybe I should call my Dr. I'm so sorry you are going through that I hope it gets better fast. Have you let your Dr know? Hugs, LJ

i read a article that said as you did has some thing to do with the nerve damage and can also cause other kinds of damage but i would think a good dermatologist would know be sure to consult with one just to see
