Several of the comments are referring to bands that run width-wise across the nail instead of lengthwise like you are describing. I personally do have the lengthwise ridges and my rheumatologist says it is a distinctive feature of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Nothing specifically different about my diet. I do have rheumatoid arthritis, and it is my rheumatologist that prescribes "the big D" for me. She says deficiency is common amongst RA patients.

I do have a lot of trouble sleeping, but I had that before taking the D. I just switched from trazodone to Quetiapine/Seroquel which has helped a lot.
