 Subject: Re:Slow Nail Grow due to Underactive Thyroid ProblMessage: I made post on slow growing nails due to thyroid problems last year... I made a mistake, I got Acrylic Nails put back on again because I can't stand the tenderness and the burning sensation when I put on nail hardeners polish. My nails have been weak all my life and I started wearing acrylics/gels 13+ years ago. I wanted to grow my natural nail but they keep breaking off in corners (causing my nail to rip off). My nails hurt when I put nail hardening polish on them. I used an Anti-fungal product to keep from getting fungus on my nails. I let my nails soak off completely (no buffing, no lifting). What can I do beside use the NGF formula to speed up the process of growth restoration? I have tried NailTek, ProStrong, Tips, Sally, Nail Magic, but nothing helps they still break even with the hardeners. My nails are soft and weak and hurt. They grow but break off badly. please help!!! I am currently trying Onymyrrhe and Nail Advantage for Sensitive Nails to grow out my Acrylic Nails. I ran out of NGF, I need to order more. I read something about African Okoume tree oil to grow nails...I am going to do some research. I am not trying to promote any products but I am just trying to explain my problems. Please read post: Slow Nail Grow due to Underactive Thyroid Problems in this forum. My secret to taking off acrylics FAST: 1. Put Hot Water into a bowl 2. Put Acetone Nail Polish Remover in another smaller bowl. 3. I put the smaller bowl over into the bowl with hot water and let my nails sink completely in Acetone for 15 minutes to 30 minutes and I am done. I tried Non-Acetone remover, but they don't work to remove nails. |

I can only imagine the pain :( I don't have any answers to your questions about what else you might be able to use as I've never been in your shoes, however in my own experience, NGF was a godsend and the best thing I ever did for my nails. Good luck to you! |

I have Hashimoto's, the autoimmune disease causing an underactive thyroid. I've never given in to acrylics - I just used to hide my hands a lot which is no solution! But the NGF is keeping my nails the most hydrated they have ever been. I recently developed other serious health problems, so my nails, skin and hair are all showing the signs. So while I don't have any words of wisdom on any of the other products, and my nails are growing slowly - they at least are moisturized and growing at whatever pace they will right now - when I don't pick at them! I assume you have your thyroid levels checked regularly by a primary care physician or endocrinologist, so again, I will assume you're on the right dosage of Synthroid or whatever medication you take. If it is Synthroid, please know that it can deplete calcium over time, even contribute to osteoporosis (I've been on Synthroid for 10 years and it saved my life!). I'm not saying the calcium has anything to do with nail growth, I'm just saying that diseases and their respective medications can throw our bodies into imbalances and deficiencies - and don't be too hard on yourself, and it never hurts to ask the doctor or a nutritionist if there is anything else you can be doing just to strengthen your overall health or address any nutritional deficiencies that may or may not be contributing to your situation. I'm not a health practitioner, so I am only posting as someone with perhaps a similar situation. Good luck and please post if you try NGF again - there are so many of us with fragile nails and cuticles who swear by it! |

You asked specifically what NGF is.. I've taken this straight from this site... "Here's how it works. The formula stimulates blood circulation, and cell activity, therefore promoting a more rapid growth process. You don't stand to loose anything, but you do stand to gain beautiful, healthy, Natural Nails." The product really addresses dryness. The NGF is very hydrating and moisturizing and many people will tell you that they noticed a difference in the first day, where their cuticles and nails just looked better, more hydrated. I had very bad nails. Mine was from years of acrylic abuse and biting and picking at them. They were paper thin and I could literally tear them off in sheets. I tried several products, some very 'high end' and some well known less expensive products like Sally Hansons and Burts Bee's, but nothing helped. NGF was recommended by a friend on another sie and I swear to you, after the first application I could see a difference. I've been using NGF faithfully now for 5 months and have my own natural nails that look lovely and are very strong! Ridges I had for years are diminishing as well as 2 nails that had been disformed are healing and looking more and more normal. As you use NGF daily, it protects from harmful moisture like water from washing hands, etc., and at the same time seals in the vital natural moistures needed to produce strong, healthy natural nails. I hope this answers your questions and if I have misstated anything I'm sure someone will pop in and correct me or add their own experiences. |
