Since taking NDT 9 weeks ago, I have noticed horizontal ridges going across my finger nails - which are just over half way now. Probably about 9 weeks worth?! Has anybody else noticed these lines? Or could it be something else causing it?

I suspect that is probably thyroid related. I have 2 deep horizontal ridges across my big toenails, nearly grown out now, and left over from when I crashed last Xmas.
I've had these for ages/years and quite bad now, so I've just bought a formula from Tesco for treating Ridges. They split through them terrible but it's certainly not at the top of my worry list.
See the slide show webmd.boots.com/skin-proble...
Google "beau's lines" and mention them to your doctor next time. It is probably not related to the NDT but to the hypo. It takes a while for nail changes to show up.
Not what you're looking for?
