@lisash, @swatzki. Amazing, I just got back from having my hands and feet done. The technician showed me how much stronger my nails are now. They were thin, brittle and breaking several months ago. The only thing I have changed is the tapering off an anti-depressant. I haven't researched that as a possibility. Do either of you have any knowledge of medications that might be contributing to your tearing and brittleness? Be safe and free of suffering. Chris
