I’ve done 3 courses of oral Lamisil. It’s now been a while but I’m reluctant to try again. I’m waiting to see how a new topical works. http://www.lee.org/blog/2013/03/13/trying-coco-nail/

I was in contact with a guy who really went full blast after a few years, he would get a 3-month subscription of lamisil, save it (where I live doctors have an online system that makes it impossible for different doctors to prescribe “double” medication), get a new prescription after a few months and eventually have 9 months of oral lamisil, devouring it over almost a year straight. He also desinfected his house and threw all his shoes away, he went at it with an energy I would never muster. I could link his posts but he does not write in english.

Either way, if it worked for you once and cured 9 toes it might get one more if you go at it again.

@ FUNGUS, the study doctor was saying luliconazole is working really well in Japan and that he can’t wait until they get it in the US. I wonder how long it will take to make it to market or at least by Rx? the cream is suppose to be faster acting than Lamisil cream and the nail paint works well he said. I would buy it online but I see nothing.

The story is told wordlessly but eloquently, perhaps more eloquently than if there were any dialogue.

The filmmakers were ever conscious that the camera is a stand-in for the viewer. The viewer is welcomed as a participant in the activity. Let me describe a little:

0:14 I’m following Chandelier through the street. He walks with purpose, we’re going someplace important.

0:29 I follow him to the beach. Detail of confidently walking past a warning sign. He knows what he’s doing in the face of danger.

0:32 Detail of his feet approaching the edge of the cliff. Camera glides a foot or so past the edge of the cliff hinting at what is to come.

0:37 Distant shot of his back, standing on the edge of the cliff with the sunset in the background and his name on screen. A formal introduction. He is just a man, vulnerable (he could fall off the edge of this cliff), solidary, confident, in nature. We are both looking at the beautiful sunset together.

0:39 Detail of his feet. He gets on tiptoes and then magic happens, he is flying away on his paraglider. The camera follows a bit so that we are off the edge of the cliff too but he is still soaring away. We can both see the beautiful skyline that he is flying into.

0:50 We are walking over a crest, see some natural brush, see his paraglider over the crest, we move over the crest closer to the paraglider, he comes into view and we’re really close to him, as he passes by, we keep moving forward over the cliff, following him, we’re tentatively joining him in the sky

0:53 We are several feet past the cliff, several feet above the ground and he has just passed by (we are starting to get our own wings)

0:57 we are running along the grass and his feet come into view from above. His feet scuff the grass as he approaches the cliff edge and we follow quickly. We’re bound to run off the cliff. But that’s ok because he can do it, so we can too.

The whole film flows like this, playing with the idea as camera as participant, not just viewer. I love it.

I see you have had toenail fungus for a time. I also see lots of info here on your blog going back some years now, have you had any of your nails cured…? and if so, what was your preferred medicine or method? Thank You!

Best wishes anyway.

Gail, GSE does help, much better than vinegar for me.

Blue: I have thought for some time that luliconazole looked interesting. When I was struggling a lot I read about it and went all over the internet to search for it, back then (3 years ago?) it was sold by a company I believe was called Pola Pharma and only in Japan. I was talking to a japanese guy whom I wanted to get some for me and send it for a profit, but lost contact with him. From my conversations with him I got that it is being sold in Japan but reports on forums and blogs regarding its efficency are mixed. So, not super-poitive but not negative either. I would still try it out if I could get my hands on some or participate in a trial. =)

Those here who have the opportunity to be in trials, make the effort and join them, and make sure to update us all on the progress.

One thing I’ve always hoped for – and that is a spare $700 to have a laser treatment that is supposed to kill it completely. That makes the most sense to me. However, since I never seem to have that much disposable income, I’ll try the cheap stuff first.

Anyone out there try the laser treatment?

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Just saying :)

Because the best automated stuff doesn’t look automated.
