So, the compound pharmacy made me a liquid anti-fungal that I dabbed on for about 3 months. I went back in and told the pharmacist that it did not work, so she reformulated it with an added ingredient that was supposed to make it sort of super strong. Didn't work. The fungus came back just as strong as before.
Deciding to give modern medicine a chance, I went to a traditional western Internist who prescribed an oral med used for run of the mill toe fungus. Having researched on my own, I decided to use it in short increments and see what would happen, not wanting to compromise my liver health. The medication worked while I was taking it, a good sign. But I felt that taking it longer, for several months was not in my best interest long term..
I've lived with this fungus now for over 4 years, as many others on different blogs report similar life span.
By now, I had decided to live with it, peeling, cutting, trimming, biting off the dead skin as my finger tips seemed to die off in chunks. Ugh.
