Hello, I am a 37 year old female and I have been sick since November 15 and it's now December 29. I've been a really healthy person my whole life. I exercise and eat well and maintain a healthy weight. I was working full-time until recently, because I can't even stand up anymore.
Christine the Duchess. Walton has retained the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails, an accolade she has held since 2011. The 46 year-old singer who goes by the stage name The Duchess, has not cut her fingernails since 1990. The gold-painted talons hang at 11 ft on the left hand, and 10 ft on the right.
Nails are made from keratin, a protein thatâs also found in your hair. Nails have multiple tough layers that can peel. This can cause them to appear thin or become weakened, causing them to split. The medical term for peeling or splitting fingernails is onychoschizia. Peeling nails can be the result of outside or external trauma to the nail. More rarely, they can indicate a systemic condition, or a sign that a pathologic process is occurring inside your body. It takes six months for a fingernail to grow to its full length.
