Hello! My first post on the message boards.... I was diagnosed with PCOS 7 years ago. Through the years, my nails have been so-so to their current state of horrible. I take a daily vitamin (and I'm also on spironolactone, glucophage, and birth control pills), yet currently every one of my nails is either severly pealing or split in some way.

Does anyone know if this is a PCOS thing and/or have any suggestions on what I might try to get them healthy again?

Thank you, thank you!

Wow. i have really bad nails too, but I figured it was because i bit them all the time. However, even when I've tried to stop, it hasn't helped: they still all peel off even with nail polish and excessive efforts to keep them out of my mouth.

I have bad nails too...Heck my friggin toenail fell right off!! What I started to do was take biotin. Suppose to be very good for nail growth and strength and so far so good...my nail is growing back in all nice and pretty. For now.. **Knocks on wood**. I also heard KNOX gelatin is good for nails but haven't tried it yet. I'll do some research on this topic and get back to ya...heck I might find something that can help the biotin.
