How many of you have issues with your toenails or fingernails? Do your toenails fall off or do you have weak and fragile fingernails? How does your doctor handle this?

Lol...my nails are thin and grooved. When my son married I splurged on fake nails...only to have them begin to fall off before the ceremony. For mother's day my sweet daughter painted my nails with a strength coat and then gel polish...guess what? The next day my polish was peeling off...hello little dab of super glue to reattach it.

Oh man, that must be bothersome (and perhaps painful).
It's good to bring this to your rheumatologists attention.

My nails are extremely brittle and painful. I notice that when I wash dishes or clean my bathroom or bathe, thry become very painful on the tips of my finger where my nail will not grow. I also have painful sores/lesions on the tips of my fingers near the edge of my nails. I try my hardest to not bump my finger tips against anything. I accidently bumped my fingers against the counter as I was cleaning. Talk about painful! My nails are not growing back. Anytime a nail grows, it splits. Anyone else have a similar experience?
