I had a fill a week ago and was fine, but the last few days have been bad. I bite my nails, and am worried that they might not go through. It kind of feels like there is something plugging me up. I guess my question is, Has anyone had this problem due to biting fingernails?

I am at a loss for words.

what??????????????????

I've heard of nail-biters, but I had no idea people swallowed that stuff. I figured most spit it out. Maybe you should try that.

Ditto Steph

oh my.. sorry but that is gross..lol..

i cant imagine it would get stuck unless your biting big chunks ?

habits are hard to break, can you not paint your nails with that horrible taste thing stops you from biting them? or reward yourself to manicures for losing weight?

Are those fingernails or toenails???:wub:

I really can't imagine such a habit. I have seen people who have this habit real bad....I suggest talking to a doctor about different ways they can help you with your anxiety or whatever it is that is making you do this.

Hey, how much Protein is there in a finger nail???????? Just kidding!!!!!

Everything is fine now, guess I was just too tight for a couple days, and was curious. Thank you to those of you that actually tried to offer advice, and to the rest of you~ You might try NOT making fun of peoples bad habits, I'm sure that you all have some that are not so pleasant.

As a fellow nail biter, I have to say thank you for asking this question.

While yes it is a bad habit, so is smoking, gambling and judging other people for their bad habits.

I have always been a biter, and even getting artificial nails won't do the trick.

I am not a fan of Mary Kay products in general (mostly for political reasons) but her nail care line is mega fantastic. It's a 5 step program that really works. If you use the products religiously until your nails grow out from the base to the tip they are like little pieces of steel. You can't bite them. You can use them as tools. (not that you SHOULD but you CAN)

I usually have very long nails and they are all mine, not fake. It's Mary Kay products that allow me to have mega long nails that rarely break. If one breaks I cut them all off to be the same length. But usually I go for months and months with long nails.

Something worth trying. Pretty hands are nice to have. Long nails make great tools. ;o)

I used to be a horrible nail biter FOREVER!! Until...I got banded. Weird huh? I think I was afraid of swallowing them. What's funny is my husband had no idea I swallowed them either, he figured I spit them out. YES it's gross but whatevs!! For me, not biting them has been one of the best side effects possible! Good luck!!

And NO, that nasty tasty $hit DOES NOT work, but I'm sure you know that already!! Might try the Mary Kay idea though, thanks!
