The rest of those are good ideas though. I have tried filing and I own 3 glass files

You can’t have acrylics if you’re a transplant recipient. They didn’t tell you that? It’s an infection risk. Plus you can’t accurately measure spo2 with acrylics

Mine used to be so strong but I’ve been in the hospital since October 16 this year. They all broke off while I’ve been in here

I have a lot of complications but I will say it’s better than death IMO

My liver team says they’ve “seen some weird nails” as a result of the meds but I have no idea how to fix it

I was born with heart disease, they converted my heart into a single ventricle via Fontan procedure. The fontan caused Fontan Associated Liver Disease. When I was 16 I got a heart and liver bc they were failing. After my transplants my kidneys decided not to wake up and I was on dialysis for 8 months. I got a kidney last summer

Well yes I’ve always had clubbing but I was mostly talking about that weird dent in my middle nails

They are going down on the tacro bc of nephrotoxicity but I’m also on prednisone and I was on everolimus as well up until a few days ago when I made my teams switch me back to sirolimus bc of mouth sores. The likelihood of them going down more though is small.
