Fingers sore and cracked and my nails are broken below the skin line with ridges and splits. Will try the Balmex, thanks.

well I know it sounds mean but I 'm glad it's not just me!

Yeah they split at the edges of the nails at the tip of the finger-even if I just hit them lightly against something.

Fat metabolism? Interesting one-I have been on a very healthy diet since diagnosis-so my body should be able to cope unless,as you say there is some metabolic interference.

I have considered sticking superglue on the cracks!!!!!!!!!!!! Not been brave enough yet though.
