...long story short they don't know exactly why some of us have clubbing and some do not or have it in varying degrees. they don't even know why some get it and at least this point it does not correlate directly to any sort of outcome. some say O2 deprevation to the extremities others say liver related. I have moderate clubbing. I've never worried too much about it but through this site I've heard of a few adults that are embarrassed by their clubbed nails (or clubbed fingers in advanced clubbing).

Parents, I'd do your best not to call it out to your child as weird or science experiment like. My mom never gave me the feeling that my hands and nails were anything but beautiful and normal. It's little things like this that help us to grow up to be well acclimated adults.

Lauren,

The last part of your post made me smile. That's just so true. As much as I try to make Ethan feel normal...I wonder if I would've thought about that (when he's older). Thank you...so much.

I have had clubbing for quite some time. My clubbing was always moderate and became severe around my freshman year of high school. Very noticeable in my situation. Especially my toes. My clubbing has improved significantly since my transplant. My doctors always comment on the difference. For some reason, it is still pretty severe in my toes. but it is what it is. I used to be self-conscious about it but now I don't care. I do find though that I usually like to keep my fingernails and toenails cut very short so that they appear to be less "curvy"
