I have taken oral medication prescribed by my doctor for the total period and notice that my toenail is growing in properly. However, that toe is very sore if I wear a covered toe shoe. Just wondering if this is a common side effect? I have had blood tests done and all is well.

I have toenail fungus (big toes). I have had a lot of antibiotics in my life and have had a candida problem and so believe toenail fungus is just part of the whole systemic thing of fungus. When your gut fora are messed about with antibiotics you will get total yeast overgrowth as all the good flora are knocked out with antibiotics.
I have been using tea tree oil and it certainly is helping. The pharmaceutical antifungals are really dangerous and the fungus can mutate anyway and be resistant.
If you don’t restrict your diet to an anti-candida diet – the problem will just come back because you are feeding the yeast. Its a case of healing from the inside, out. But trea tree oil helps on the way.

Wow! Stormi thank you for your post about the blood tests. I was just getting ready to pop a lamisal as I was reading your post. It is a prescription lI had left over from a few months ago. I had a blood test yesterday and was awaiting the results today, but figured what’s the harm to get started. Your story kept me from not waiting a few more hours. I hope your dad is much improved and I will certainly put him in my prayers. You’re right a fungus verses health..no comparison.

Please make sure that your doctor performs a blood test prior to prescribing any medication. my stepdad is currently in the hospital dying from drug induced liver failure. he was prescribed a medication for toenail fungus and because they failed to do blood work or a test of the liver his life is at stake. it’s pretty sad when it comes down to toe fungus or liver failure… so please just be aware I would love to see that prevented in the future.

I’ve had toenail fungus since 18 or so ( I’m 41 now ) and tried everything, pills, and topicals.Then I decided that maybe if I removed the nail the topical would work as it can now be applied to the fungus itself. The results were amazing although it took like 6 months I can wear sandals or go to a public pool and go barefoot! I have pics to prove it. email me @ roycoo@aol.com if youd like to see or if you’re interested in knowing what worked for me. This was an embarressing problem that I kept hidden from famiy, friends and others that I thought was gonna be with me for life but now it’s totally gone. Thank God!!!

Years ago I was prescribed a course of Lamisil which took six months and did not work very well. Years later My doctor prescribed a course of tablets which were taken daily for a week thenevery third week. for three months. This worked realy well and because there was only a little tip of affected nail remaining, I thought I was cured so did not seek further treatment. I wish I had because that little bit of nail is stil affected no matter how many times I cut it out it still comes back. I think the tablets were Sporanox (but not sure). My doctor has since retired and his partner won’t prescribe anything. ( saving cash I suppose). Can sporanox be purchsed without prescription? Two months of treatment would see me cured as the remaining infection is minimal.

Try changing your diet, fungus feeds on sugar. Cut out all breads, grains, corn,
peanuts, mushrooms, pumped up meat, and start saying no to yet another round of
anti-biotics. Eat grass fed meat, free-range eggs, any and all vegetables,
yogurt, berries, and stevia or xylitol for sweetening and check out

In the past I have used Lamisil for toenail fungus. Unfortunately, it keeps coming back and it has affected four of my toenails on the left foot and three on the right. What is worst, my toenails are thick, but not brittle. I am hoping my doctor will again prescribe Lamisil if not another fungus treatment medication. But I am hoping to cure my toenails from this fungus.
