Should I

take lamasil
I know you thought it would be something more exciting.
I hear bad things about it and my liver along with other side effects.
Is my ugly toe and my vanity worth the risk?
I never had feet problems before this bs called SCI. In fact I had pretty feet that I wish I had taken a picture of. Now I have twisted messed up feet with a really ugly big toe. Why?

Anyway anyone who took it have success or problems?

My son took it just over a year ago and his toenails are nice and clear now. He didn't have any problems taking it other than it tastes bad. Your supposed to avoid alcohol while you take it and you do have to take it for 90 days!

An ab family member of mine took it and had to take it for months and months. In fact, his doctor had said it would be nine months before any real improvement might be anticipated.

There were tests (blood work) to check liver function while he took Lamisil.

His toenails look all nice and normal again so it worked. It mattered to him and to his partner so yay.

If your funky toenails bother you enough and your doc gives you the thumbs up, go for it.

BTW, can you go for pedis and colored nail polish while using the Lami to cover the discoloration or will that slow the healing given colored polish prevents light from passing through the nail?

I took it,and it didn't help. I decided not to take another round of it as I felt the cure may be more harmful than the bad nail.

I asked my doctor for it and he refused. He told me the side affects were'nt worth the cure.
