Good information. I wonder if you can tell my why my fingernails break, split, crack.... I had surgery two years ago and they have been that way since. Is it possible to repair them? I think I have tried everything.

the article is informative but I was looking for another nail condition, white spots on an otherwise healthy nail. I would like to find the answer for that.

Twice I've seen an interview by Jayne McAllister of Fox News on this subject.
"How nail deformities can predict illness. Dr. Robert Bard explains"

It's become high tech to be able to have an idea what health problems you have by your nails. They actually have a machine that can gauge the blood flow to help determine this. I was very interested about something-thyroid. The doctor said that this illness is most commonly misdiagnosed the first 2 years. The misdiagnosis is like "all in your head", etc...

You can watch her interview by googling it.

A lot of these same symptoms are caused by fungus in the nails.

My toenails are so thick that I have to use wire cutters to trim them. But it is fairly common to have thick and yellow toenails. It is caused by a fungus on the nailbed and does not indicate a serious health problem.

Some of my nails have begun to curve drastically when they get longer than the tip of my fingers. This never used to happen. Does anyone know why it is happening and what to do about it?

"Vertical nail ridges, which run from the cuticle to the tip of the nail, are fairly common. These ridges typically become more prominent with age. Vertical ridging doesn't indicate serious illness." This is per the Mayo Clinic website

Yellow nails also can come from smoking, use of nail polish remover or working with yellow/brown tinted products.
