[TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
(This email is serious, like, no kidding) Dear Group, I have partial TM (C6, right side, 6 mm spherical demyelination). I have central pain from my shoulders down, left side has three times as much pain as right side. Recently I became aware that my left hand was slightly swollen, and my fingernail of my left hand were growing faster than on my right hand. Has anyone else noticed anything like what I'm describing? Thanks Frank

*Hi Frank, * *I have significant differences in nail texture, growth and thickness. I believe that in my case, it's attributable to all of the meds that I take including chemo. Hopefully, someone else will have some input for you. * *Grace*
Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank ~ I have noticed a marked difference in my nails lately. I've always had a problem getting them to growthey've always been thin and would break off constantly so I've kept them short. Lately they are beautiful. My toenails have become harder also. What you describe sounds like it may be that you have better circulation inn your left hand than you do on your right. Hopefully someone else will have more info for you. Hugs, Lynn In a message dated 9/9/2009 7:49:34 A.M.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank, I have always had the majority of pain on the left side even tho it is the strongest but has the least skin sensation. The right side is the weakest but has from the start had hypersensitivity and I have a hard time walking because the right leg wants to drag. If I 'talk' to it, it will always do better...really, it's true! So far I have had no changes like yours in my hands. I have started a very strong vitamin and my nails have gone crazy growing and are becoming super strong.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
I have no idea, but when you find out, will you tell us about it? Something else to look out for.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank, I was also affected in the C portion of my spine (C2-C4). At first my hands were swollen. I was most affected on my right side, but both arms and hands are affected. Lately I have had more problem with my ankles swelling during the day. They are better after a nights sleep, but swell again during the day. My hands feel swollen, but don't look as swollen as they were for the first few years. I've had TM for over 15 years. I have also noted that my fingernails grow faster and that my toenails are so hard that they are very difficult to cut. (That just might be old age.) All I know is that once you get used to some of the effects of TM others seem to pop up (or is that swell up?) By the way, I also want to join the BM group. I was relieved to hear that I'm not the only one. The doctors just recommend more fiber. I tried Dulcolax, but that almost killed me. Had the runs for over a week from just one dose.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Roger, I was Afflicted in August 2000. My legs and feet swell too, that is from the loss of neurological activity adjusting blood flow. Maybe my hand is affected too, increasing blood flow and thereby increasing nail growth A true mystery F
