I used to have long, perfect nails. Now they flatten out past the nail bed. This has only happened after fibro. I'm in meloxicam, lamictal, and Lexapro. Has anyone else had this happen?
I take a vitamin for hair and nails..Mine keep flaking..plus they have dents and ridges..
hmm i have ridges to on my nails
No not flattened but mine has gotten ridges and are more brittle. I can't wear nail polish because it tares up my nails.
I take Vitamin D3 daily. My nails grow fine. My meds don't exactly have that effect. I'm not on any heavy duty fibro drugs.
I have learned that it is soooo important to get your vitamin D checked because when you are supposed to spend 10mins in the sunlight everyday to get the correct amount of vitamin D your body needs .. But most people with fibromyalgia well me for example I don't go in the sun so my vitamin D was critically low .. So I had to go on the 50000 unit for of vitamin D .. The medications we take block our bodies ability to absorb certain vitamins and minerals.. That is why it is important to take the medications as directed. I use coconut oil its amazing for hair and nail growth 😊
