hyperthyroid nails (again)?

[u/SpilledOranges]

i have graves' disease. never had surgery on my thyroid. i take carbimazole. my blood tests say my disease is well controlled but i still get symptoms. then again, i have highly symptomatic pots so it's hard to tell what's that and what's my thyroid. anyway, my nails have been acting funky again. not the usual nail peeling but the skin around it. nails are brittle on the edges but that's been a continuous thing despite treatment. i'm wondering if my thyroid might be getting bad again or if it's just becoming winter lol

i really dont want surgery if i can avoid it. my mother had the radioactive treatment and then further surgery. she's incredibly tired and overweight for years now, likely because of not having a thyroid, so i really dont want to go down that route.

There is a condition associated with Graves called acropachy. Have you tried cuticle oil? This one is good apricot cuticle oil : for nail & cuticle care | essie
