I have blue fingernails, does this have to do with MS or is it something else?

Hi there.
I have been diagnosed with MS couple of weeks ago. I just noticed my finger nails turning kind of blueish/purple. Does this have anything to do with the MS or is it something else?

Thanks :)

It is only a light blue and gets better during the day. At night when it gets a bit colder it darkens up again..

Could be Raynaud's which is also autoimmune. Now that you have one autoimmune disease, your body will think it needs a friend to keep it happy.
