Hey guys I started having problems with my finger nails thinning is this normal? I had problems like that awhile back then they got better. Do you think i need to up my calcium a bit, or put fake nails on. I have no clue I don't know if I want fake ones because I am afraid I would poke my eyeball out while putting my contacts in. LOL anyways I wish the dammmmmmm sun would come out I am so sick of the gloomy crap day afterday afterday good lord.... thanks for listening... Hugs Marsha

I have found that if you put fake ones on they thin out you real nail even more. I would up some vitamin, I dont know if its calcium or not. I heard biotin also helps with you nails, not only your hair. Good Luck!

I don't think it is calcium - hair, nails - need protein and yes I agree with missy biotin.

I think there are vitamins called hair, skin and nails that is supposed to help.

also - fake nails make it much worse.

I didn't like the biotin... it made them damn wiskery things that decided to begin attacking my chin at 30 even MORE prominante.. the dang things started having little baby wiskery things!!!! they have a clear nail polish that strenthens at wal mart. i'd try that.

Thanks Lisa I will check into that. One of my moms is a beautician so I will check and see if she has anything like that at the shop.

Hi Marsha~ When you find out what's causing the weak nails and the solution to the problem, let me know! My nails have always been weak, but since WLS they are even weaker and have terrible creases in them. I don't want to get into the fake nails.
