Then I noticed that the nails growth rate began to slow down. Now the finger nails grow a much slower rate then the left.
About a month and a half ago (about 8 months of having CRPS) I began noticing that my right hand finger nails are developing deep grooves in them and are becoming brittle and almost feel thicker then the left.
I am guessing the finger nail changes are a slow progressive one. Can anyone suggest anything I can use to keep the nails healthy? or to help with the thickening/grooving? Also what are some of your experiences with the nail changes? (how long did it take/what other things you have noticed etc.)
Take care,
Karen

I had almost the same changes you have had except some of my nails fell off. I also had mirror changes with hair, first growing rapidly and then thinning.
My neurologist suggested a supplement called bioten. My nails and hair are much better. I don't know if it is the biotin or the tCDS treatment I had. My neurologist thinks the bioten is responsible for the improvement.
Hope this helps!!!!
