I’ve been upping my protein intake by increasing my egg consumption and a nice side benefit has been stronger nails that don’t tear easily. I’ve never been able to grow my nails to even this length, even though I’ve taken a collagen supplement in my coffee for the past couple of years (does help skin resiliency though!). This is as long as I like them to be, but I’ve never been able to do this for longer than a couple days. Follow me for more beauty tips!
My wife has always had brittle nails.
Then she started on some medications for an autoimmune disorder and her nails are strong now.
Have you ever had your blood antibody (immunoglobulin) levels checked?
I actually have an appointment with a hematologist at the end of July.
I had bloodwork a couple weeks ago that was concerning. High red cell counts and a few other off results.
DM it to me, I’ll take a look and compare. Been through the grinder with hematologists and immunologists over the last few years.
Hematologists and immunologists had me as a frequent visitor ~5 or so years ago. It’s crazy how common these autoimmune things and blood disorders are becoming, especially in the last 2 years or so.
Interestingly, this came up during bloodwork for looking into a GI issue. I’m nervous tbh and upset I can’t be seen for another 3 months
Right? I went to so many specialists over so long of a time span and it was so frustrating/time consuming. I eventually went to Mayo Clinic and it was a great experience. Didn’t end up changing much of anything with medicines, mainly steady exercise or activity and also have definitely shifted to eating more red meat. Also just keeping good mental health and lowering stress. Not sure what worked, but something definitely helped me improve.
thyroid good?? I imagine this is what was your wife's issue was Brad??
Wish we could swap problems. Tired of clipping Teflon twice a week.
