1st photo: I was told all 10 nails were infected. 2nd photo is after the last of three laser treatments 6/25/26, along with “Fungifoam” creme and a topical liquid with antifungal and antibacterial properties, 2x daily, then 1x daily after the last laser treatment. I see the podiatrist almost a year after the first treatment, after most of the new healthy nail has kicked out the old, sickly one. It’s expensive but beats taking the oral treatment which is said to have severe side-effects for many. I’ve had enough lately of taking medications with severe side effects for another ailment and tapering off them. I’m hoping for the best long term.

I’m curious how many of you diagnosed yourself? I noticed over 7 years ago that one of my big toenails was thick then it ended up spreading to other toenails (3 on each foot) so I researched it and learned that it was toenail fungus. I have treated toenail fungus ever since (I have used everything from fungi nail, listerine, apple cider vinegar, Vicks vapor rub, Lunavia, Lakeim & the only oral medication I have taken to get rid of toenail fungus is Terbinafine) I have filed, soaked and done everything I could think of to get rid of it, I finally can see pink in my toenails and my toenails are much better but the bottom of my toenail still isn’t pink so when I went to the doctor at the foot and ankle institute (because my foot was hurting, after X-rays I found out it was broken, while I was there I asked him how I could completely get rid of my toenail fungus he said I don’t look like I have toenail fungus, then when I was at my PCP to get my liver tested because I had been on Terbinafine over 3 months she said my toenails look fine then she said that I don’t look like I have toenail fungus. I took this picture before I stopped putting anything on my toenails June 7th, then I stopped the Terbinafine July 15th and now my toenails aren’t as pink.

My toenails situation has me almost in tears and is keeping me up at night . GP and podiatrist only recommended oral terbinafine, but it is not an option whilst i am on a fertility journey ( IVF ). So nothing else was prescribed to me. My biggest worry is infecting my family members. How can I prevent my family from getting it? I will never forgive myself if I pass it to them. Should I give up on my parenting dream to treat this damn fungus 😢? Looking for any wisdom or support!
