Wow, this post goes back aways .... I've also been told my ridges signal damange to the matrix in the nail bed (or whatever it's called), because I dug at and bit my nails for years. But you know what? They were never a problem when this bad habit was at its height. I believe I must have posted somewhere in here ... that I've read horizontal ridges are common in those with hypothyroidism (which I have). I wish I had prettier hands and nails, but I'm with the writer above. Bigger, more important things to tend to. Best all, T.
