Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 My son ph's toenails (especially the big toes) are kinda thin and ridges in them. He hates getting his cut too. I have to cut them when he's asleep and they don't grow very fast either. His fingernails seem more normal but they are also thin. He's a wrestling match when it comes to cutting hair.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Ditto for on the nails, sensory issues, clipping, and shampooing! (Can we have twins without having the same mom?!?!) Friends in CHARGE, Marilyn Ogan Mom of Ken (15 yrs., ADD) and (12 yrs., CHARGE+) Wife of Rick oganm@... oganr@... Re: hyperplastic toenails Aubrie freaks when I cut her nails!!!! And when shampooing hair -- as if it truly hurts her. Her nails are also hyperplastic. I think this means that they weren't completely developed at birth. Aubrie's nails are getting more " normal " as she matures. Even as her sensory issues have improved, the nail clipping and shampooing have not.
