I read a while back that for unknown reasons, low half-moons are correlated with hypothyroidism. I can see them okay on my thumb and forefinger, there's a tiny sliver on my middle finger, and then nothing at all on my ring and pinky fingers. I have always had low energy levels, and while I was checked for low functioning thyroid a long time ago, this half moon thing nags at me from time to time.

So, rather than do something silly like consult a doctor, I figured I'd put it out to a super-scientific poll here on YT. How about it, ladies? How many half-moons do YOU have?
I have never heard that this could be connected to any disorder but I find this very interesting! I am a Cosmetologist and when doing manicures we are taught to look at the shape at the base that you are describing to determine whether square or round nails would look best on our client. As for me I have prominent half moons and also have a recently found possible thyroid disorder. Very interesting!!!
