onychomycosis, toenail
"This is my second time around for taking this medicine. The first occasion (about 14 years ago) after taking it for 3 weeks, I completely lost my sense of taste & lost half a stone in weight - it took three weeks after stopping the medication for my taste buds to work again.  Believe me there is no pleasure in eating when you cannot taste anything!!

When I was told I needed anti fungul treatment again recently I asked my gp to check the name of the drug I was given before, they couldn't find a record of it!! So I have been on this for three weeks & guess what, I have lost my sense of taste again, I also have a most awful taste in my mouth that I cannot get rid of  - I have stopped taking them and will have to use an alternative treatment."
