Has anyone experienced strange ridges on your nails?

I think they are called Beau's lines. During or after my worst flares, I develop these deep ridges on my thumbnails, small ones on other nails.

Are they vertical or horizonal? Vertical is vitamin issues. Horizonal is possible autoimmune disease.

Horizontal.

I still think I have more going on than Fibro. But... What else are they going to test for?

Recently, I had an EKG and they said it was "abnormal". An EKG isn't a diagnostic tool. Last time, doctors claimed I had heart issues (Mitral Valve Prolapse), I went through hundreds of dollars worth of tests, including ultrasound, and results? Nothing. Eat less chocolate, drink less coffee. So I'm skeptical this time.

Have you been given the 11 indicators of lupus test? A good rheumy is suppose to go through the list and check for matching symptoms. If you get four or more of the indicators then you have lupus. You can find the list at lupus.org or over in the lupus forum. If you feel you have at least four of the symptoms then print off the list, check mark the matches, and take it to your rheumy.
