This all freaked me out. I could just see myself losing my toenails. My fingernails are actually a tiny bit better since the Mayo trip. But they still aren't normal. I keep them cut very short as even a little length makes them get sore. They turned lose at the sides slightly and are reddened at the tips with a slight lifting. But I had a pedicure right before I started breaking bones and now (2 months later) the white thing appearing. This pedicure was the first one I'd had in a year. My husband was helping me up until then and I could still reach most of them until the breaks started.

Mayo looked at fingernails and toenails and said they had no clue. I've searched and found pictures of the fingernails that look slightly like mine and they are connective tissue damage, if that is what it is. But the white toenail is new and so sudden. I've got an appointment with the dermatologist in two weeks and I'll show them to him. And it could be a result of the medication too.
