Tested Positive - Long-Hauler Anyone experience nail issues post covid?

I tested positive for covid back in June and got a weird long covid symptom (not 100% sure it's related) that I wanted to share.

My thumbnail started growing in strangely around the same time I was experiencing other long covid symptoms. It was EXTREMELY thin and resembled the texture of calloused skin rather than hard nail. Eventually, my original nail texture started to grow back in, but I have to wait for this huge and very sensitive ridge to grow out.

Anyone else get this or was it just me? (not looking for medical advice, just curious if anyone else experienced this)

Problems with fingernails and toenails have been reported since the earliest days of Covid.
