For Minor Hand Foot Symptoms
 
Hi All,

I started T/X in May and have had very minor hand foot issues. Just some redness on the hands and feet and a little bit of minor splitting on my index finger and thumb. My nails and cuticles, however, have been dry even though I creme up twice a day with some pretty goopy stuff. A friend (who is not on this combo) recommended Sally Hansen vitamin E oil for nails. It's available at any pharmacy and cost $3 or $4. I've been using it one week religiously twice a day, rubbing the oil into the nails and around the surrounding finger or toe. Well, the results are amazing. My nails, cuticles and finger tips are so much better. Another friend noticed the same results in only a week also.

Just thought I would pass this on for those of you with minor hand foot issues.

Thanks Donna!! I have cleared up my sore big toenails by putting aloe vera gel and a tea tree cream along the edges. My fingernails are just so brittle and thin. I will try the Vit e oil and see if it helps me too.
