Did anything work for your toenails? I am shocked I got a little starting on my fingernail. Did you use a different nail clipper for your infected nail and how did you clean your clipper? Do you spray your shower with vinegar too after each use? do you get rid of your shoes often? Thanks for any thoughts. I am guessing you don't rinse the vinegar off your fingers after you put it on? George,

I have no clue where I got it but started noticing my nails changing and then recently I noticed one finger nail changing ever so slightly. Ugh, I bought the Nonyx and hope it works.

I am so glad I found your blog (and the pictures were helpful too) I have put up with a badly infected nail on my right middle finger for about 10 years. When it first occurred I was prescribed Loceryl which I soon gave up on as there were no real results. I went back to a different doctor who told me my nail was not infected and was simply 'damaged' and would never grow back properly again. I then gave up all hope and had the shame of using bandaids and nail polish for the last 8 years. I managed to get it to grow to a normal length (although badly deformed and detached from the nail bed) which I covered with dark nail polish. The nail is very painful if any pressure is put on it (it is always that nail that gets hit or bumped) Recently I went to the doctors again because it has been really getting me down and I started a new job where I serve customers and they are looking at my hands all day - not good! The doctor said it was definitely a fungal infection and gave me the option of trying the Loceryl again or taking an oral anti - fungal / anti - biotic tablet - Grisovin 500mg. I thought great, I will just pop a pill every day for 6 - 12 months and it will be all better. I have only been on Grisovin for about two weeks and everything was going ok but the last couple of days I have had a severe allergic reaction and am now covered in hives and my lips are all swelled up. So I almost went back to the doctor and got Loceryl again. I was googling Loceryl and I saw your blog and I am ever grateful! I will go to the chemist and buy the Nonyx or its equivalent tomorrow. I hope this hell ends soon, I am so self conscious. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Thank you so much for your advice!!!

"However, as fuel prices rise, base environmental car prices drop and more states offer tax breaks to environmentally conscious motorists" Personally I think this IS the hardest point, as states would prefer to usher people into public transport!?

Went to the Drs. they prescribed a nail lacquer. Used it for 3 weeks, problem seemed to be growing. started soaks with 50/50 h2o2 and white vinegar. seems to have stopped growing and looks like it is changing color this fungus runs right down the center of my nail under the cuticle. been soaking twice a day for a week now with the 50/50 as well as applying the lacquer total treatment time so far has been 4 weeks. Every morning I get up and look at the base of my nail in hopes to see a line wear the bad nail is growing out and healthy nail growing up. Does anyone know how long before I see results. loosing hope. :( Hi,

The jury's still out on the nighttime socks, too, since those help foster a dark, moist environment, fungi's favorite. The best bet is probably to apply the Vick's and stick the feet out on top of the covers during the night. I used a blow dryer after showers, too, to keep the toenails as free of moisture as possible. I've since heard that the vinegar and bleach (50-50 solution) treatments work wonders, as well. And I won't be getting any more salon pedicures, either, as my trained cosmetologist friends tell me now, after the fact, that they avoid them like the plague.

The obvious white spots (I had self-diagnosed superficial onychomycosis after a nasty salon pedicure) went away in two nights! I'm still using this method every night as "insurance," but I'm thrilled, especially since we keep Vick's around the house anyway for chest congestion. Yippee, I won! P.S. As further insurance, I use a separate nail clipper soaked in bleach on the once-bad nails.
