Splitting Ridged Nails

[worrier]

I have noticed my nails have become brittle and splitting, I was shocked when I was told your nails can tell your body is not working properly, having a fasting blood test, getting stressed out waiting for the results. Anyone else heard of this? X

Which way are the splitting?
Which way are they ridged?

By "not working properly" you mean some underlying medical disorder?
If so......yes i have heard of this, but the answer is that no underlying disease is found.

sunnyflower...yes! yes! we know all about that...BUT......only rarely is splitting nails indicative of underling disease.

In my experience.
