Take calcium supplements!
My CF DR put me on a calcium supplement & I now have to cut my nails sometimes twice a week; it's a real pain!
I hate cutting my nails but I hate having broken nails even worse so I keep them short.
Its the same with my toe nails. They've been growing horribly fast & I hate it!
I think a calcium supplement will do wonders for you. CF'ers have are notorious for osteoporosis too, so your DR may want you on a calcium supplement.
Good luck, I hope I've helped in some way.

My nails always do better when I am upping my vitamin and omega 3 intake.

Thank You so much I was giving Calcuim but it was so hard to take because it always interfeared with the Anttibitics so I stopped taking But I will get back to them thanks so much I love having pretty nails!

No matter what I usually do I always have flaking dry brittle nails. I started using a product that Sally Hansen makes, it's a acrylic strengthening gel you paint on like regular polish. Amazing stuff. It finally gave my nails a fighting chance to actually grow. They look awesome now and are much thicker & healthier. It's about 6 dollars for a bottle at any drugstore I presume. I bought mine at target- it's in a little blue bottle. So if you're looking for more of a quick fix I would definitely suggest that! It dries pretty fast and hardens quite nicely.
