I’m about to show some weird ass pictures of my fingernails. Be warned, because there’s something strange going on.
If you look really close at my nail beds, I’ve got some separation going on. Since I don’t have any skin conditions and my last round of bloodwork said I was low in certain vitamins (despite being outside more often) I think this is being caused by nutrient deficiencies. On Saxenda, I eat under 1,000 calories a day. I average 800-900 calories a day and with that little food, it’s hard to make sure you’re getting all your vitamins and I haven’t been very consistent in taking my supplements.
Now, I am not saying this for certain, I’m speculating. I did want to make a note of it as I will be taking my supplements like I’m supposed to and keeping an eye out to see if the nails reattach now that I’m more diligent with the supplements and eating some more nutrient dense foods. And the doctor suggested supplements, I’m not just taking them because I think they’re good for me.
I did do some lazy searching and I didn’t see anyone else talking about this. Maybe this will help someone out down the line.
