Has anyone else got fingernail Lichen Planus?

Thank you for the advice and hug, @onemargie. 

Hi there @pammiesyd. That sounds so painful I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I don’t have the same condition as you but had issues with all of my nails during chemo and just two now. I still see my nail lady fortnightly for gel polish to be applied although the other nails have improved significantly they can still be brittle hence why I’ve kept up with the gel polish it’s been awesome to help keep them all protected. I have a lady who works from home do it so it’s so affordable thankfully. Big hug. Margie xx

Ah! That's very kind of you to say. And yes, my husband is an absolute saint! It's not been easy for him the last few years. Taking on two very challenging kids that aren't your own, in your sixties, while holding down a full time job of considerable responsibility is amazing. And then I go and get breast cancer... I am in awe of him! He often jokes that I can leave him if I want but that he'd come with me (boom boom). However I would never! I totally adore him. K xox

(You have to use the @ in front of my name for me to see you're talking to me, unless it's in a discussion I've started. Tricky little detail that took me a while to get!)

Yes, your household of people and how supportive you are of other people.

Me?!

And yes, there is solace in company when facing adversity. It's why we're all here on this forum eh?!

My dentist specialist said oral LP goes away after maybe10 years, and my dermatologist said treatment of fingernail LP takes a long time. I didn’t ask how long she meant. I thought it doesn’t really matter. It would just be nice to know one other person with the same problem. But I suppose both disorders are too rare. 

Just as a side note, I was telling my husband just last night about you and your wonderful husband.

Sorry to hear that Pammie. It sounds dreadful! My fingernails are still revolting as they slowly recover from chemo. Does Lichen Planus go away? K xox
