-Members' experiences
-I have noticed that my toenails on both feet are changing. I have had diabetes for 46 years and I have deep ridges in great toes but, the ridges are disappearing and the nails are becoming smoother. I think this is SIGNIFICANT for a long time insulin dependent diabetic. Any one else notice this? I have NEVER heard of this! ~ Debbie Y
-my fingernails have vertical ridges along with the horizontal ridges - growing out. ~AB
-The finger nail problems you describe are very common with psoriatic arthritis. My fingernails have looked the way you describe for many years, long before I got sick. Mine aren't so angled as they are wavy. Sometimes these problems are associated with fungus and go away with rather strong medication (that would clearly not be permitted with the protocol). Sometimes people actually lose their nails–simply shed them. I lost one a year ago and to my amazement a perfect one grew back. I'm quite proud of it.Everything about it is perfect. Might be the first small physical improvement I've experienced in several years. ~Jim
-I'm not exactly sure when mine appeared, but I have many, fine ridges running lengthwise on all my fingernails which are easily felt and seen. I have wondered myself whether or not they may be connected to this illness. Brad has always had some ridges but they are noticibly worse.(very rough) ~Paulette
-My experience has been that my nail ridges are much less obvious now than pre-MP. Back then, I used to get inflammation and lots of tiny blisters behind my cuticles and then deep ridges in my nails as a result. ~Belinda
-I've had those ridges in my nails for several years before I got sick. I was in my 20's so I don't think age is the reason. ~CFSgirl
-I HAVE ALSO NOTICED HEAVY RIDGES OR LINES HAVE APPEARED ALONG THE LENGTH OF MY NAILS,NOT ON THE OUTER EDGES BUT TOWARD THE MIDDLE,MY NAILS SEEM STRONGER AND AT THE SAME TIME FLEXABLE,BUT THE RIDGE RIDDLE I HAVE NO ANSWER TO ~vda51
-I, too, have ridges in most all of my fingernials. There appears to be no fungal problem.
-I can remember that I had nice smooth nails when I was younger, before roughly the time when I got bit by my first tick. My ridges developed over much time, slowly. Not really sure when they started. But they certainly showed up as my disease increased in severity. ~Dark Vader (aka, George)
-I have vertical ridges on my nails that have “worsened” on the MP. Three nails that were ridge-free, are now ridged as well. I don't think it has to do much with aging, unless the aging has to do with intracellular bacteria wreaking havoc in the body. So I'm blaming the ridges on the bacteria in the meantime.  Time will tell…! Alayne 2006
-Just wanted to say a couple of months later that my nails continue to increasingly ridge. My thumbnails were relatively ridge-free as of my last post here 2 months ago. They've grown quite ridged and uneven since then. Pain free herx?  If vertical ridges were all I had to worry about…what a world it would be!  ~Alayne
-Yes, my nails were always fine before I became ill with (Hashimoto's) autoimmune thyroiditis. Then suddenly they got very brittle, with deep ridges. I guess it is the lack of thyroid hormone which causes this. I suffered a lot of hair loss which has been reversed with thyroxine, but sadly my nails haven't recovered. I wonder if the MP can fix my nails too?  ~Claudia
-I can not remember when I had vertical lines on my nails since I always had them I though it was normal. ~Ramzi70
-I don't think ridges on nails have anything to do with aging either, as I am 27 and have always seemed to have ridges on my nails. They run from the base (cuticle) to the tip of the nail, though sometimes they look slightly cross-hatched, not just straight lines. ~Lantern
-I noticed this week that the nail ridges have all but disappeared from my right hand and are substantially lessened on my left hand. ~Desert Marie
-Yes, I have noticed my nails are much stronger. ~Aunt Diana
-I had to cut my nails recently because they were too long…that's the first time in several years. They would usually break or split. Definitely healthier. ~DNStog
-I too have fine lines in my nails,, no fungus.~weepingsparrow
-When I got to Phase 2 of the MP, the ridges disappeared from my fingernails. (I never got to Phase 3 because of moving and the changes from Medicare D, which eliminated my drug coverage from Medicaid, which had formerly paid for Benicar.) Since I have been off the MP for about a year, ridges have returned, worse than before. I just got back on Phase 1 and I expect the ridges will eventually disappear again. ~Lily
-I too have had these since my teens on each nail; they are pearlized (like tiny little droplets making up the ridges). In my 20s, they would turn purple underneath and become very painful. (But no sign of fungus.) For years now, pre-MP my nails have chipped and broken off before I could cut them, splitting from the side and down the ridges. ~eClaire
