Mine are like that. I've kept artificial nails on for at least 5-6 years now without fail. People always think it's a luxury but it can be painful to have them done and maintained but it's much less painful that the cuts and slices that happen to my body when I have spasms or drop things and spastically reach for it. I've left myself bloody so many times that I learned to keep them fake and thick.

My nails have turn blue and are very ridged. Blue is I have bad cirriculation, and ridges are from fibrio, and lack of my body being able to absorb certain vitamins. They know I have Fibrio, but also reactive arthritis. You have to Google HLA-B27

Yes I have problems with my nails too. No one ever told me it could be related to my Fibro.

You can take biotin for hair and nails. Brittle nails are a sign of other medical problems like thyroid problems.

I have to that is a very good question, I have between sweat glands out of control in the palm and dry up along the fingers? Never really wanted to reveal my problem to anyone until now:|
