I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a difference in their naul growth while on meds. I was taking diclofenac and mtx for 11/2 to 2 years for my pa. I discontinued their use a little over 6 months ago and the other day when I removed my toenail polish (used to hide the ugly yellow discolouration of my nails) I noticed large horizontal ridges across 4 of my toes on my left foot. There was also a large crack in one of the toenails. I was wondering if this might be a result of the change in meds. Has anyone else had experience with this?
My pa seemed to have a little remission for about 6 months but has decided to come back to haunt me. I guess I will have to start meds again.

Cyclosporine made my nails and hair grow really fast- soriataine made the growth slow way down.

Enbrel has made my nails grow for the first time in my life.

Interesting, I have to clip my nails 2-3 times a week. I have to keep clippers in my car. I've wondered if its the mtx I'm taking.
weird!!!
