my thanks to everyone -- I do not have my hands in water -- my wonderful new husband does the dishes at the summer cottage and dishwasher in winter. Nail strengther and polish made everything worse.
As a child and thru teens, I evidently had thyroid deficiency. As soon as I was out on my own I went to a doc and got suppliments. The result was fantastic!! No more exhaustion and overweight.
I had forgotten those bad times. I will definitely get a blood test and checkup. Allso add zinc and magnesium to the vitamins..
Also I will start to buff, buff, buff. I imagine that is how our ancester "mothers did it
Thank you all -- Mim
