DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU

Symptoms
The affected nail will become discolored (yellow or brown) and will become very thick and overgrown. You may notice foul-smelling debris under the nail. The nail may crumble and eventually completely fall off, or it may become so thick that it is very painful to wear shoes.

Treating Toenail Fungus During Pregnancy

Expert: Ronald Ruggiero, clinical professor in the departments of pharmacy and medicine, University of California, San Francisco, CA

Topical ointments like Tinactin seem to be safe and are better for your feet than the pills. I would avoid the medications that are taken by mouth since they're somewhat toxic and could harm the baby, especially if taken in the first trimester. And it's just not necessary to treat most fungal infections during pregnancy.

Toenail Fungus Cure

I lived with nail fungus for 12 years. Both toe's and fingers. I went through 2 expensive Lamisil treatments and the results were positive but temporary. After extensive research I found that the problem was caused indirectly by Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea causes poor circulation to the extremities. Poor circulation is a major cause of nail fungus. Sleeping on a CPAP has cured the circulation problem and in-turn my nails heeled on their own for the first time ever with no recurrences. I've been nail fungus free for over 6 months now. A sleep study can easily determine if you have Sleep Apnea. Consult your physician.

Treatment and prevention OF NAIL FUNGUS

Treatment and Prevention
Because it is difficult to treat or eradicate toenail fungus, it is a good idea to try to prevent it. It helps to wear protective shoes or sandals in public showers, pool areas and gyms, and to avoid borrowing someone else's shoes or sharing socks or towels with someone who has toenail fungus. An orthotic device can be used to add cushioning and/or control over-pronation, support the longitudinal arch, and reduce stress on the lower leg muscles.
Wash your feet regularly, and dry them thoroughly when they get wet. Wearing nail polish on the toes is not advised because it can seal in fungus and allow it to grow. Keep toenails trimmed, and be sure to disinfect any pedicure tools before using them.

Will My Insurance Pay For Treatment

Go ahead and give me a prescription, my insurance company will pay. WRONG!! Most insurance companies have taken the position that toenail fungus problems are cosmetic, and they will not cover them under their prescription benefits. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis for those medically dangerous conditions I referred to above. NOTE: as of 2005, there is some erosion of the "no pay" stance by insurance companies on this issue-- check with yours to find out.

These medications do work nicely, however, and give a pleasing cosmetic result, but for most people will represent a substantial cash outlay. But if you decide to dip into your piggy bank anyway, come see us and we can help you do it the most effective way.
