fingernails curling up

Are you a smoker? Curled fingernails ocasionally result as a result of chronic high carbon monoxide levels and lowered oxygenation..

I am a 50 yr old female and my fingernails are curling over. This started when I had my thyroid remove due to cancer. All my bloodwork, which is done every 6 weeks, comes back normal. I have no heart problems, no ashma or lung problems. I have asked all my doctors but nobody can tell me why this is happening or what can be done about it. What next?

You need to eat something first for it to actually help, not on an empty stomach- which kind of ruined the point of taking it for me- I just throw it back up. Just power through it and try small snacks. I have crackers, my sister in law would eat handfuls of cereal. Do what you can to get by. It *****, but will ease up eventually. Remember, being able to keep down anything is a victory at this point. It gets better.

for some reason i feel like i have to bob my head up and outward constantly its a half voluntary half involuntary feeling and its not the only thing that feels like that theres also me squinting my eyebrows and curling my toes could it Parkinson's disease or something because while it doesnt entirely match its the closest match i can find

t think that your hair falls out due to dryness. Limit the styling with hot tools like curling irons and keep your hair trimmed. That may help prevent the breakage. The dryness is always worse for everyone in the winter from cold dry air and indoor heating. You may try a humidifier while you are sleeping. Could really help too.

Anyone else have a baby or ever had one that is sunny side up or in the posterior position, meaning their back is to your back? Did it affect labor in any way?

I knew about the thinning hair, which I am experiencing to a much, MUCH worse degree than I expected (but hey, it's summer!! ) But I have never read anything about tx affecting your fingernails. It only makes sense, as they are both made of the same thing - but has anyone else had this problem? Mine are awful! They are like paper, thin, peeling, and constantly ripping, even though they are cut completely short.

Hey there, girl.....I don't know. It sounds terrible. When I was getting chemo, I had an eruption of psoriasis and I lost my toenails and they aren't coming back....chemo ended 5 years ago. I hurt my toes all the time; but I know it would be much worse if it was my finger nails. I wish I could offer some help. Maybe someone will come along and know something helpful. Have you spoken to your doc or your chemo team about this? That's a good place to start.

Make sure you "note" me when you (or others) bring up Curling. Don't want to miss a thing when it comes to Curling. Synch swimming filled in nicely but boy oh boy, Curling is just around the corner. Can't wait......

Anyone have terrible fingernails with their VDD? I ask because for the past few years my nails have been very blah, the minute they start to grow they just split and peel. Now, I have noticed being on the VD for the past few weeks/months my nails finally seem to be growing slowly and not splitting or peeling, yet anyhow.

Hi im a teenager and i was curling my eyelashes. i got bumped and half of my eyelashes were ripped out. I was woundering how long they take to grow back. also i was woundering if there is a good remedy that will speed it up or something. Thank you!

I have been noted to have domed fingernails but not apparently 'clubbed' They have been like this as long as I can remember What might cause domed nails but not clubbed. ???

The doctor says my thyroid hormone levels fluctuates as do my symptoms. My fingernails are the worst and I am so very tired and weak. They are very soft and thin with ridges. I thought the synthyroid was supposed to help with these issues. Am I wrong and is something else going wrong This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263637'>Fingernails indicative of thyroid problems?</a>.

I have been a regular exerciser for years including the elliptical machine but over the last few months when I use the elliptical trainer my toes on my right foot involuntarily curl up and it makes it impossible to keep exercising.

The one thing that helped for several years was putting two pieces of foam rubber together with duct tape, and resting one arm on it while in a fetal position. This kept my arm up and kept me from curling my body. It was a Godsend. I go nowhere without it. Unfortunately, I have begun to have the pain again, even with the foam pillow. It is awful, because I never feel rested.

I have issues with places with more, smaller muscles, like the face, the hands, and the feet. Feet cramp up, face twitches, hands are spastic, but I think that's just the luck of the draw. I've noticed that the feet cramp more when I'm trying to do something like moving furniture - I guess because I'm putting sideways pressure on the feet.

After that embarrassment of the USA mens and womens curling finish, coupled with the crushing lose by our ice hockey team, I considering jumping on the bandwagon and move to Canada. Double last place for USA curling...sheesh.

bumping this post up for Quix and others, to see if they can answer....

This may take quite sometime to restore your nail back to its normal appearance. It may take months. It is best to maintain close follow up with your doctor. If fungal infection is present , the nail may detach from the nail bed which is not true in your case. So give this quite some time. Do not forcibly manipulate the nail to avoid injuring the area.

Anyways, the other day i was talkin with my sister and somehow we noticed that the underside of my fingernails were quite purplish. i dont know if its got anything to do with the pills i take? could you help me?

I recently was curling my eyelashes with a eyelash curler when it slipped out of my hand and pulled out about a quarter of my eyelashes, which hurts very much. My question is will my eylashes grow back in the area where the hair was pulled out? And if it does(hoping and praying), How long does it normally take before you see them coming back in?
