Default Extremely thin brittle nails!

Does anyone else have this problem? My nails have always been thin and brittle, but lately they seem worse. My thyroid is in check with medication...

Some of my toe nails have split and cracked down so low it is actually kind of painful.

Anyone else suffer from this? Just wondering if I should look into other reasons for this to be occurring other than hypothyroid.

My nails peel a lot and they used to be very brittle, but that has improved a little bit in the last few months (thats about the only thing my thyroid meds have helped, LOL).

Other things that can cause brittle nails are anemia and iron deficiency.
