I am 46 years of age, and for the past 2 years have been asking my doctors what was wrong with my nails (fingers and toes) but getting no answer, till finally i was refered to a dermatolagist at hospital, who diagnosed it as YELLOW NAIL SYNDROME which is a rare desease, and only 100 other cases have been known to have it. thats why ive called myself 101 dalmation as i may be the 101 patient lol. I was relieved in a way to find out what it was but curious as to why i have got it. but there is no answer to my question as no one knows of yet where it comes from. So i would like to share this with anyone who wishes to read about it, and ask any questions about it. I have taken photos of my nails for future ness if anyone requests to see them.

thank you for letting me express this out into the open.

      PS I just saw a post above from 101 dalmation 8 months ago who suggested the following -

      "if you wish to join the Facebook page just type in Yellow Nail Syndrome into your search box and I will add you when you find our page, there is one open page and one private one".

      Or you can just google 'facebook yellow nail syndrome ' put a post in that page and someone will invite you to the private group.

    Hello everyone, I hope you are keeping well.

    My mum who is 64 has been diagnosed with having yellow nail syndrome.

    Her nails turned yellow in 2019 and have got worse since then. We are from Northern Ireland and it's proving hard to get any help / information about how to treat her condition.

    Mum has been from numerous scans and tests. She has yellow nails along with other respitorary conditions including a chronic cough, chronic bronchitis, sinus infections and pleural effusions.

    It's so upsetting to see my mum suffer with this illness.

    Would anyone be able to talk to me about it and share their experiences?

    Thanks Alan
