Barbara H from GA soon to be SC, Jan H here.
I had no fingernails to speak of when struck with
tm as I had taken steroids (Prednisone) for ten
years prior for my skin problems and fungus feeds
on steroids. The anti-fungal medication took out
the nails! I have for the first time in three years
polished my new nails in just the last 2 weeks.
They grew out, not down, altho' must admit they
still are ridged and razor sharp in comparison to
what they were prior to the fungus 'infestation'! I
think that if fingernail involvement were part of tm
I would have been a prime target for strange nail
growth--but who knows?
When are you moving? Is this job related or some
such? Are you trying to do the packing/moving
yourself? Nosey, huh. Just want you to take it care-
fully when it comes to overdoing! It's awful easy to
think oh I can do just one more box---
Enough from the old lady! Hope your move goes
smoothly and hope that I didn't burst a bubble when
it came to the fingernail theory! It may be I'm the odd
man out (wouldn't be the first time!LOL) JanH
