Thank you for your wonderful reply. Now I don't feel so lonely with this very painful isue. I am always catching a ragged edge on a nail and have to cut further into the quick. I will ask my primary MD to order a
b12 test. In general I am doing well. I have a few wigs,but usually just put a hat or baseball cap on. What a ahockyhis has been. Hope all is well with you.

I realize the emotional strain can be great. Thank you for mind words.

I’m not sure what caused my hair loss and damaged nails, but my nails have definitely improved in quality since I was prescribed significant daily doses if B12. It’s very noticeable. Before this, they split really bad.

Do you have access to a specialist in hair loss?
