This is weird, and probably only a coincidence, but I thought it worth posting: For the last twelve years (I?m 62) I have not been able to grow fingernails. They become brittle and break off back to the skin. I?ve tried gelatin, Biotin, creams, antibiotics, and diet to no avail. My doctor concluded it was in the genes. Then, six weeks ago I had RLRP surgery and now I am growing nice long and strong fingernails! Nothing else has changed. I am wondering if anyone else had a similar experience?

That's a first for me. Never heard of it, ever.
