I have a couple if finger nails that are doing the same as yours. I also have one big toe nail that seems to have died. It doesn't grow, I haven't needed to cut it for over a year. It's a nasty grisly old thing - ugh! I assume it's because of bad circulation in my feet. Bent finger nails - I find it's better to keep them short. This is such a weird disease - never know what's going to happen next. Just keep smiling I reckon 😀

Mine, like for the other person commenting below, are curving upwards at the tip. Even one or two now on my toes. Yes, keep them short is a good advice.
