Rowena said, > I have only been on CS three or four months. Could I expect any relief from flaking nails (layers of the nail thickness separating and breaking off) and a deep fissure down the middle of the right thumnail, top to bottom? Also lesser ridging down the nails?>
>> Many folks have experienced relief from this nail condition by daily drinking one or two packages of unflavored gelatin mixed into warm water (sweeten with honey or Stevia, if needed).>> Flaking and ridged fingernails can be a symptom of Graves Disease. Do you have any other thyroid imbalance symptoms? - constant hunger, always warm, weak muscles, racing heart, shaking, hyperactive mind and tiredness are some of them. If you do I would suggest that you get your FT3, FT4 and TSH thyroid functions checked. There are graves groups online and the members will help you understand your blood test results. I recommend http://www.mediboard.com/cgi-local/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi as being a caring group of people. Pip
