onychomycosis, toenail
"When I was a teen I began getting the dreaded toenail fungus. I went to our family doctor at the time, which was 20 years ago, and he said it was something I had to live with. When I was 22 all 10 nails were infected and would basically pull off with little or no pain. I finally went to see a doctor in Washington, DC were I was going to college and he prescribed terbinafine for me. I was so scared about the liver side effects I only took the first month's dose. My toenails were clear as ever for about 5 years when it started creeping back. Considering I only took a 1 month dose (pill a day) I think that says a lot for this medicine. I have just been given another script for it and hope and pray I can only do the 1 month of it and things get back to normal."
