What could be causing my nails to split?
All of my fingernail tips have broken off. First they peel at the ends, then split and break off. I've had this problem for about a year. My podiatrist just told me that my body has too much calcium, which is causing corns and bumps on my feet. I thought it was from my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Could calcium be causing problems with my nails also?
Answer
In Fibromyalgia, and I suspect RA, weak nails are common from nutritional deficiencies, low thyroid, and low DHEA hormone levels, and I find that my patients' splitting nails often go back to normal when these are treated.
