AG, yes lots of people have had this. I had just put some yellow Cif on a nail brush and scrubbed my nails but didn't make much difference sadly. I think it will just fade in time and I feel much better today. Don't think my symptoms of migraine, temp and swollen glands were connected tbh but who knows!

Very odd indeed!

I'm glad to hear it's improving, Florence.
You do seem to have had the same mystery "thing" experienced by so many people on the link posted earlier.

Very odd!

You've been Tango'd :-0

I was given some mini narcissi, just 3 bulbs and in a china pot but that's all I can think of. Still a mystery really.

Poachers make the best gamekeepers so it must work the opposite way :-D :-D

You've not been around any plants at all have you even repotting or anything?

Oi oi :-D :-D :-D I used to work in the fraud dept don't you know!

Stains are def fading but still some showing.Nails look like I have stuck them in a bowl of Tumeric :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

;-)

She would say that though wouldn't she nameslessone :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-er def not!!!
That made me howl.

I think some of the marks are starting to fade but not around my fingernails.

I came up with a new theory. You’ve been on the rob and it is security stains. :-D :-D

Errrr def not! :-P

Reading some of that site suggests that many of the sufferers think it is down to food. But as you haven’t eaten anything in a couple of days it could easily be something else.
Unless you have drunk bowlfulls of carrot soup ;-)

Ty all for your suggestions. Yes Maggie I saw than too!

Now my friend Nurse J messaged her team of community nurses for me which was very kind of her and they have said, could be an overdose of Vit A , ie carrots orange juice or, new cleaning products etc. They have seen this before once or twice and it was nothing to worry about as it went away as quick as it came. Its not sore, itchy and nowhere else on my body.

If I still have the stains on wed, I shall send GP the photos I took and if necessary, a nurse will come and do bloods but shall see what happens.

I just got such a shock when I woke this morning as anyone would and wondered what it was. My friend nurse J leads the community nurses in her area so if she thought it was something that needed urgent attention, she would have said so I am reassured by what she told me.

Honestly, anything else going to happen before midnight???? I hope not

Thanks for your suggestions ladies

Hi Florence,
'Gransnet' has quite a few occurences of orange hands!

https://www.gransnet.com/forums/ask_a_gran/1273255-What-are-these-orange-stains-that-have-appeared-on-my-hands-overnight

May be as well to get a blood test, just to be sure it's 'nothing', and not your liver.

I ran out of covid tests and have ordered some online but with the public holidays here, they wont arrive until end of next week probably.

I have a friend who is a practice nurse so going to send a pic of my hands and see what she says. Our hospital has 2 wards closed due to Norovirus so i really dont want to go anywhere near there!

My son who doesnt live here has had temp/flu type symptoms for 10 days now and 23 staff are off with this virus!

So I guess that is doing the rounds.

Shall see what nurse J says and let you know.

I agree.

NHS 24 (111) on phone or online.
They will be very busy - and there's a long wait for a reply at the best of times - so the sooner the better.

It doesn't have to be an emergency - if it was, you'd be ringing 999.

I would phone or contact help online today for advice / reassurance as the lines are likely to be more busy tonight and onwards.

I would suggest contacting NHS 111 - either filling in details online or phoning, especially as you have other symptoms which may be related.
