Tammy at PT was the first person to tell me about nail clubbing. I've since found it also reported on a new site called lupuscheck.com
My nail beds started looking "puffy" a while ago and I thought maybe I was just imagining it. Had I put my hands together, palms outward, nails facing down, thumbs towards body, I would have easily seen the something was wrong. Rather than touching my nails now curve out over slightly puffy beds. This is called clubbing and is a sign of oxygen deprivation. Not only to the nails but to other organs of the body.
