ME WANT COOKIES!!!!
Hello my friends on Dimensions!
I thought I would come here to see if anyone has any knowledge about or experience with onychomycosis (toe nail fungus) and would be willing to share.
One of my best friends is 38, about 270 pounds and was diagnosed years ago with dishydrotic eczema (blistering eczema) on her feet, that despite treatment with steroid creams and even a dose of oral steroids once, never resolved.
She finally got frustrated and went to see a new doctor who told her she had actually been misdiagnosed and it wasnt eczema, but rather vesicular athletes foot which is untreated/improperly treated athletes foot that goes on to blister as it gets into more layers of the skin. As such, the doctor sent away toenail clippings and she also has onychomycosis which is the fancy name for toenail fungus.
After some liver tests her doctor prescribed her with oral Lamisil (terbanifine) 250 mg once a day for 12 weeks and she started this on Monday, she goes back in two weeks for more liver function tests to make sure the medication is not affecting her liver.
Has anyone had this before and taken Lamisil? Did you have improvement? My friend has been surfing the web and getting herself all worked up about it and any advice/help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
