Not even the oral medication worked? Oh no! I have a single mutant toenail that has been harboring a mushroom for over a decade. The oral antifungal medication finally lost its patent a couple of years ago, which put it within my price range. So I started taking it, and the nail almost grew out completely...Hooray! But then I stopped the medicine to get pregnant. I restarted it recently and I hope to finally get to take the medicine for a full course - I thought it was guaranteed to work?

I have heard that sugar intake is related to fungal overgrowth, but I am not sure if LC alone could keep it at bay. My facts are a little sketchy here, but isn't it related to candida? And restricting sugar is prescribed for eliminating candida overgrowth? (Again, this could be way off base. I haven't researched this.)

Mine is so persistent that it would probably take napalm to get rid of it. It has managed to start up again since I have been on LC. Yours may not be such a survivor. Good luck!
