Onycholysis - lifting of my fingernails from the nail bed

@AllyJay Thanks so much - yes, I feel your pain too! A blister pack of tablets had me in tears last night, and typing is very slow and difficult using the pads of my fingers instead of the tips, and pressing so gently down. A pen is a great idea! as is the idea of putting strips of foam over the tips.  Although I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, it is strangely comforting to know I am not the only one to experience this! I hope everything has healed up for you now?  :)
