I keep my fingernails really short, they still split.

Decades prior to CLL, I had three nails which always split vertically. I found that a few drops of superglue down the back of the nail prevented the split from spreading and allowed me to grow my nails to glamorous lengths.

Since CLL, I take Biotin ( which must be suspended for 4 days before any lab tests ) and Multi Collagen, both from Amazon. These will help you.

Some are also helped by Sally Hansen Hard as Nail s. I yhink that it was Brian Koffman who lamented that they don't have a clear with matte finish for men. Vanity or split nails??? Think vanity goes first.

Hard as Nails is topical. Biotin and Collagen are systematic.

I have no idea! Insert Smiley!

I just want to say - please dont assume all symptoms are CLL related. Other causes for nail issues exist! Check it out with yr friendly family Dr.

Insert wink!

I’m not sure my nail issues are from CLL- I believe they are from the Imbruvica.
