My Fingernails Hate Me
Lately, I have uncharacteristic hangnails on most of my fingers, nails breaking at the drop of a hat (or paper), and bleeding at a few of my nail beds. Is this:
1. a delayed reaction to Taxol (when most women have these problems)?
2. a response to my continuing Herceptin treatments?
3. my inadequate consumption of B-12 with B-6 & Folic Acid?
4. too much chocolate and not enough vegetables?
5. a desperate cry from my nails to return to the sands of Hawaii?
I wonder what my toenails are thinking…
have they turned black?? mine did – i pretended it was my nail polish – do they hurt? if I so much as nicked them it brought tears – as far as the toes? mine thought a fungus would be an interesting match…yuck…. i got mine at the end of taxotere and during radiation…. go figure…
