I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8-9 months ago, have been on levothyroxine (sp?) since. I was doing some more in depth studying about it and it turns out that I've probably had this for the past 2-3 years as most of my symptoms started occuring then. Crazy, eh? One thing that has been problematic, is the appearance of my fingernails, they look diseased. I'm embarassed to shake hands with people and find myself positioning my hands so they aren't visible (I walk around with my fists clinched a lot!!...which has caused callouses to form, but I digress). I know this is purely cosmetic/meaningless, but has anyone else had this kind of problem and if so, how did you solve it?....or can you?
