@zara2021 - have you had your thyroid checked? Looking at the pictures of your nails, it seems to me (I’m not a doctor, of course, but just speculating) you may have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism … 🤔

Yes. Thank you for your thoughts. 😊
Funny thing is that my thyroid works great as long as my Vitamin D is good, which relies upon my Magnesium being at good levels. I am unfortunately HLAb35 positive as well, and my PCP suspects I have been chronically low on Mag for years (systemic Mag is not able to be looked at by a simple serum lab test) 😞
This led to my critically low Vit D about 15 years ago. But it wasn’t figured out why until last year.

I have the same nail ridges and was started on thyroid replacement 5 years ago. Ridges still there.
