To help your fingernails grow longer and stronger, take BIOTIN. It is one of the B vitamins. It will take a while to see results - until the new growth fully replaces what you have now - but the results will be worth it. The MTX has made my nails thinner, but right now all ten need to be trimmed (something I never had to think about before I started taking biotin).
