As Silly As This Sounds.....

Hi, this may sound silly as I know acrylic nails are not a necessity however they make me feel so much better when I have them on. I do my own nails with tips and acrylic overlays and just the last month and a half I've had a hard time with them not lifting after 4-5 days. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm gluten free since July of this year...........just wondering if the inside of my body is reacting to my nails....

Pam,

I also wear acrylic nails - for 13 years now - and I have been having more trouble with lifting since I went gluten-free about seven weeks ago. In fact, it doesn't even take a few days for them to lift, I find myself applying nail glue to free edges almost as soon as I'm done applying the acrylic.

When I first started wearing nails, we had a lot of trouble with mine lifting, in fact, my first set popped right off like some kind of press-on nails. My nail tech and I experimented and found that using both OPI's Bond-Aid and Creatives' Acid-Free Primer worked best for me. My nail tech became a stay at home mom nine months ago, and I've been doing my own nails ever since. I have an appointment with a new nail tech on Tuesday, and I'm hoping that she can help me figure out a way to stop the lifting.

I have been gluten-free since May and I haven't had a problem with mine. I actually had a problem with them lifting beforeI went gluten-free and now they are fine!

Kate, thank you for shedding some information that totally sounds like what's happening to me. I'm going to try and see a nail tech that I know & see if she can't help me as well with the lifting. Mine also start lifting within 4 days......ugh. I'm still nail free and I don't like it...........Thanks Again. You by chance aren't in IL are you......

Pam,

I live in southern Indiana. In addition to the usual Bond-Aid/Acid-Free Primer combo, the new nail tech used Creatives' Retention liquid, which has their Acid-Free Primer in it. One week later, none of my fills have lifted. Hooray!

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
