Yes, I have those. They're just from a lack of calcium and vitamin E. they wont go away very fast and they're not harmful to you, just a warning sign.

Either vitamin deficiency or you were sick.

Kali S is correct.....you should have blood work done to find out how deficient you are and what vitamins and minerals are low....Good luck.....

I thought they were calcium DEPOSITS...from an overabundance of calcium....

Try getting your thyroid checked...my mom has hypo thyrodism and she had those lines on her nails....your thyroid produces your hormones and if it is not working proberably your nails will not get the nutrients and hormones they need to grow the right way...go to the doctor and get it checked out ...good luck.
