I did until like a week ago.

I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

What I did:

Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I'm positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it's almost definitely because you're chronically dehydrated.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 hours ago

I am not so sure. As I said in the post I drink a lot of water.

So I wake up and have a cup of tea and for evening meal I have a can of Pepsi. Everything else in the day is just water and never less than 1.5 litres.

For me at least I think it was the climbing chalk and poor eating habits so lacking vitamins. I guess I’ll never truly know and it’s good advice to be hydrated.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I didn’t know about the nail ridges-vitamin deficiency thing until my lady told me recently, makes sense. She got me a case of the ensure plus for extra calories to supplement through the day and it does help. Eat some veggies, get some sunlight, maybe go to a shelter and walk some dogs. Hopefully the physical elevates the mental, I’m in a similar spot and hope you get feeling better internet stranger 👍

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Thank you for this.

I already do plenty of walking as if I didn’t I don’t think I’d be here honestly. I might look into ensure as I’ve had them from the doctor when my diet has been poor in the past.

Don’t know if you’re the same but life’s like a rollercoaster man. One minute I’m doing good and mentally happy the next I can’t get out of bed and off YouTube.

It’s like I’m just passing as much time as possible with no end goal in mind. Just death at the end.

Sorry for being dark.

[–] PurpleGameBoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

This is very relatable. Can I ask you about your age? I'm 35 and struggling with eating enough my whole life.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I’m early 40’s. Never really had a big appetite and just saw food as a means to not die, but things are untenable right now.

[–] PurpleGameBoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, I'm about the same.. when my mental health is good, I eat better. But at the slightest bit of stress: I just quit eating lol.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 10 points 7 hours ago

I used to get this all the time. Now, if I get a hangnail, I liberally drench my hands in lotion, and put on nitrile gloves for an hour or so to force it to soak in.

A family friend gets me Gojo Hand Medic, which my fragile masculinity appreciates.

I also found it works well for breaking in leather work gloves.

I did, till I started using soaps without SLS compounds.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 7 hours ago

It's a shame that every sink in every public toilets, workplace toilets or other people's house still has soap with Sodium Laureth Sulphate in. Even the products that say "gentle on skin" tend to be full of the stuff.

I tried various moisturisers for years with not a lot of effect. Swapping my soap, shower gel and shampoo for ones without SLS in them really made such a difference, and so quickly.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 9 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Have you tried going to a doctor to see what is wrong? PPE if you work somewhere hazardous? Moisturizing if you're somewhere very dry?

I'm starting to remember his name and I don't want to 🤢

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Stick around for a few more months and you'll remember them no matter how hard you try to forget. They're one of the most active users on Lemmy. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out they are the most active commenter.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

He's got me by 3x the comments across my accounts I believe. Fairly sure I should still be sad about that, haha

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Ok. Where did I put my eye gauging spoon.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 12 points 12 hours ago

I can just feel this image. This is just the worst thing I could have seen tonight. Good job.

I'm not going to tell you how long I looked at this, expecting to find loss or Saddam Hussein.

Problem solved

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

You joke, but I'm missing a nail on one of my big toes and it's so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

...not so sure about fingernails though. They're pretty useful for picking things up or praying things open.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Is your toe nail completely missing, or do you still have some root growing? I have two that have a bit of root that just grows and gets uncomfortable until I pull it out. Not sure is trade the rest of my nails for that tbh

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

How exactly does the "root" work. I was wheeling a ticket podium with other items in my hands back in 2006, the podium slipped and landed on my left big toe. When I took my shoe/sock off I found the back part of my toe nail was square and had been popped up through the skin like the hood of a Corvette. I dumbly(?) tore the rest of it off and proceeded to be stupid and put my sock back on and finished my shift. Somehow the nail grew back but the part that had tissue damage where I tore it off in the front I guess never healed right and so the nail would have to grow 'over' the wound and would be really thick there. If the squared off back part isn't the root, what is?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 43 minutes ago

Idk exactly, but the root itself goes like an inch or so into your toe.

Kinda like you, I've got random spots where the root grows and piles up, but since most of the root is dead, it's only like one or two spots on the whole toe. One of them is bad enough that once a year or so it annoys/hurts enough that I remove the offending nail and end up pulling part of the root out. Looks like a newborn horn off of an animal lol

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Completely gone. Was badly ingrown and after a doctor removed it three times and it grew back ingrown again every time they just destroyed the root completely.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 42 minutes ago

Lucky, they tried to do the same for me, but they didn't get all of it. It's rather annoying at times, but I'll take it over the ingrown toenails.

Such is the nature of my work. Is that what caused this?
