Have any of you had your nails separate?

Hi John,
Thank you for your information. I opened the Mayo Clinic linc and it mentioned thyroid disease. I have an appointment with my endocronologist in July and will ask her about the nails. I get very annoyed when I am told it's just aging so thank you for all the information and I will send my PC a note on her portal to see what she thinks.

Joan: If this is thyroid disease, why wouldn't that be a common symptom? Also, don't accept "it's just old age" either: I am 85 1/2 and I do have weak, thin nails, but they aren't loose. Poor nails is a family trait, along with thinning hair when aging. I do have a mild thyroid problem, no surgery so far, and this is also a family trait. Sounds like the doctors need to do some work there! Best to you and thanks for sharing. Doris J.

Hi Joan, I can relate to being annoyed when told 'it's just old age'. Very frustrating and sometimes not even true 😹 Let us know what the results are, and if it's indeed old age, well then, sigh...
