Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Wish it would help my nails. Actually my nails HAVE gotten a lot better. I just still have this one that's splitting up the middle. It starting mending twice, but now it's getting worse. I keep my nails VERY short, but it has snagged several times; the split goes up past the quick. I'm afraid one time it will snag and split up even higher. take care, sheila hendersonteacher <hendersonteacher@...> wrote: Keisha, I have been taking Biotin since April.

I have a question about Biotin. I am not to sure what it is . But my mom told me to start taking it.. I want to know if I actually can or not.. Heck having hypo isnt the easyest thing to deal with , when it comes to other meds.. Anyways does any of you know what Biotin 1000 mg is and what it does for the body?? and IF I can take it how long after or before my armour can I take it.. I would call my doctor and ask him but honestly I think this group is more qualified , the only thing we dont have is a licences. but we seem to know more then the doctors>>> lol***Any replies would be greatly appreicated.. thanks so much..

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I am using a product that really helps my nails. They continue to split, but not as badly. The stuff is called, " LCD Intensive Nail Fortifier " and it is made by Salon Sciences in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It's about $7 a bottle at the local beauty supply and the bottle lasts a few months. I slather it on in about 3 thick coats at least once a week. Kemal Kalajdzic <kemalandsheila@...> wrote:Wish it would help my nails. Actually my nails HAVE gotten a lot better.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi Joan, Maybe I need to think about bumping up how much I take then. I don't know if the extra amount would help that nail heal. How long were you taking it before you noticed the changes in your nails? Thanks, Sheila hendersonteacher <hendersonteacher@...> wrote:A friend of mine, who is also hypoT from surgery, said her dermatologist told her to take 800 mg twice a day. I take 500mg a day after starting at 250 mg a day. When I look at the list of sources, egg yolks are the only one in my diet and my multi gives a very tiny portion of RDA.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 hi joan, problem is the nail has been like this for several years. It has a brown line going from the white of the nail all the way up to the base. it's split a little above the quick. sheila hendersonteacher <hendersonteacher@...> wrote:The nail has to grow out from the base. So however long that takes for the individual. For me they are just now getting pretty strong, I've been taking it since April.
