Though I never had nail problems with TCH last spring, I had a lot of fingertip pain and eventually lost part or all of 7 fingernails and 5 toenails with AC the year before. Bandaids helped some, but I couldn't stop using my hands enough to protect the nails. They grew back slowly but beautifully. I wish I had known about the remedies everybody else has mentioned. I also used cool packs - my favorite are rice bags. I buy colorful socks, fill them with dry rice and then chill them in the freezer protected by a ziplock bag to prevent absorbing off-odors. They also microwave easily for instant hot packs.

Good luck, and good nails!
